Saint Thomas Aquinas

Choir and Orchestra

Now in its Celebratory 5th season, the Saint Thomas Aquinas Christmas Concert and Carol Sing has become one of the most significant Christmas concerts in West Valley. The ambiance of candle light and seasonal décor, along with the Saint Thomas Aquinas Choir, organ, brass, and orchestra, and thousands of participants, combine to create an event that must be experienced. Along with the singing of traditional Christmas Carols, the concert will include choral selections from various countries world-wide. Join us for a memorable afternoon!

Performing two major works per year with orchestra, the Saint Thomas Aquinas Choir draws from a rich repertoire of music from plainsong chant to present day music including spirituals and gospel music. The 60 voice members of the Adult Choir are the principal vocal ensemble at St. Thomas Aquinas.

Regular composers include Tallis, Byrd, Vittoria, Faure, Mozart, Franck, Bach, Handel, Durufle, Poulenc to the modern Tavener, Rutter, Nestor and Proulx.

The Choir also makes biennial performance tours - domestically and abroad.

The Choir is proud to pronounce that enjoyment is the key to their success, and that the members who sing do so because "they have fun singing together" and the choir affords its members an excellent opportunity to grow in their spiritual lives, an opportunity they share with their audience each and every time they perform.
