The St Patrick’s Cathedral Singers were
formed in May 1996 to supplement the musical resources of the
Cathedral. A small adult volunteer choir of auditioned voices,
they sing weekly under the direction of the Director of Music
to provide music for the Sunday evening Mass.
Since 1997, the Singers have also provided music each year for
the Office of Tenebrae on Good Friday evening, including settings
of the responsories by Victoria, Ingegneri, Lassus and Gesualdo.
They also join with the Cathedral Choir on special occasions, and
sing occasionally for other masses in the Cathedral. Their concert
performances have included some in the Melbourne International
Festival of Organ and Harpsichord (1998) and in the Organs of the
Ballarat Goldfields festival (1998 and 1999).
