Newman Chapel Choir of McGill University

A vibrant ensemble of McGill students and young professionals from diverse fields, the Newman Chapel Choir offers engaging choral music in weekly Masses, concerts and tours. The Choir is at the heart of Catholic musical life at the University—whether in rehearsal, on retreat, or hosting a workshop with young composers or visiting artists. Weekly singing offers students the opportunity to encounter

the treasury of the Catholic musical heritage, to engage deeply with their faith, and to offer their talents in service of their community. The Chapel Choir maintains an active lecture series on music and theology, sings at Triduum, Midnight Mass, and termly Compline, and hosts a biannual coffeehouse showcasing student composers, performers, and bands. Ensconced in a growing and dynamic Chaplaincy, the Choir explores a wide array of repertoire from Josquin and Byrd to the music of Millennial composers. In the footsteps of our forebears centuries past, we are committed to training young Catholics to become lifelong musicians. Membership in the Choir is open to students and non-students; Catholics and non-Catholics.
