The Cathedral is proud of its four choirs. They sing on Sundays from the beginning of September to mid-June, as well as on special occasions. In addition to leading the congregation in song, they perform 2 motets at each mass. The repertoire is classical, with organ accompaniment. There are weekly rehearsals.

We are happy to welcome new singers. Please contact the conductor of the choir you are interested in.
