What is The St. Cecilia Chorus?
The St. Cecilia Chorus is a completely secular organization with no religious affiliation and no connection with any church or other organization. (When the chorus was founded in 1906, it was named after the patron saint of music.) We are an autonomous, not-for-profit organization, supported by dues, ticket sales, and contributions. The entire Board of Directors and all the Officers are elected from the singing membership of the chorus. 3. Who are the members? We have a diverse membership numbering approximately 160 mixed voices and are open to anyone who qualifies musically. Many times, new members have told us that this is the friendliest group they’ve ever joined. We work hard and seriously on the music, but we also enjoy our rehearsals and each other’s company enormously. 4. Who is the conductor? David Randolph was our conductor from 1965 until his death in May 2010. Well known in the world of classical music, he appeared in Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in America, Baker’s Bio
