The St. Thomas’s Choristers

A choral program for children in grades 2 to 12

About Our Program

As part of the music program at St. Thomas’s Anglican Church we offer a free choral program for children with treble voices, ages seven and up. Founded in 2023, the children’s choir rehearses after school on Thursdays and sings at the 9:30 a.m. Sung Mass on Sundays, led by Assistant Director of Music Manuel Piazza. Other performance highlights have included Christmas with Molly Johnson, Baroque Music by Candlelight, and Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols.

The St. Thomas’s Choristers benefit from an immersive and comprehensive music education, with a focus on the sacred repertoire of the Anglican Church. The program is entirely free of charge and children of all faiths are welcome.

  • The program year runs from late August to late May. We begin with a choir day camp during the last week of August. Families interested in the choir are welcome to enroll their child(ren) in the day camp to try it out before committing to the whole season! The camp features group singing, vocal coaching, games, visual arts activities, time at the park, music theory, and a field trip! For more information, contact Manuel Piazza.

    There are no rehearsals or services for a short period after Christmas, or during March Break. A more detailed schedule for the year is provided.

  • Auditions are by appointment with Assistant Director of Music Manuel Piazza. No experience is necessary. We ask everyone to sing “Happy Birthday,” read a text aloud, and complete some simple ear-training tests. Click here to sign up and choose a time, or email Mr. Piazza directly at mpiazza@stthomas.on.ca.
