Join us for our second annual Summer Choral Festival! Enjoy five days of singing outstanding sacred choral music at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. Led by Festival director Jim Cole and co-conductors Megan Calabro and David Jules, you'll sing with fellow choral singers from the Diocese of Metuchen and beyond. You'll be accompanied by Wendy Relation on our Randall Dyer pipe organ and Steinway grand piano, and perform in concert with our chamber orchestra. The Festival is open to choral singers of all skill levels ages 18 and up.

Our Week Together
Each day will start with a physical and vocal warmup. We'll sing the music of John Rutter, Malcolm Archer, Jacques Arcadelt, Barbara Baker, Hal Hopson, Mark Hayes, William Matthias, Dale Grotenhuis, Mack Wilberg and more. The Festival conductors will rehearse the repertoire on a rotating basis throughout the week. We will conclude the week on Sunday with a concert open to the public.
