Touring Choir of St. Peter's, Charlotte

Over 50 boys and girls (ages 9–18) from The Choir School at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Charlotte will present a concert (free admission) at St. Paul’s. Under the direction of Ben Outen, Artistic Director, the concert will feature both sacred and secular selections, including Pergolesi’s “Stabat Mater”, John Ireland’s “Ex ore innocentium,” and the spiritual, “Music down in my soul.” Elizabeth Lenti is the Assistant Director of the choirs of The Choir School.

Now in its 24th season, The Choir School is an auditioned community choir dedicated to helping young musicians explore, achieve, develop, and mature against the backdrop of a world-class music education. St. Peter’s choristers come from every background and neighborhoods all across the Charlotte region.

The school’s annual summer tour gives choristers the opportunity to grow as musicians and gain cultural awareness, confidence, and a sense of independence. Past tours have included performances in Chicago, Boston, New Orleans, New York, Canada and Great Britain.  In July 2019 the MasterSingers of The Choir School will serve as Choir in Residence at Durham Cathedral in Durham, England.
