In 2005, music directors in the New York area expressed interest in joining together to form a chorister experience of the highest caliber for girls. The Choir School was delighted to offer space, resources and experience to the endeavor. Since then, the Choir School has proudly taken full ownership of the course and developed a schedule and musical standard parallel to that of the boys during the academic terms. This year the girl choristers will sing choral evensong on Tuesday August 2 and Thursday August 4. They will be joined by the Gentlemen of the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys for the 11am Choral Eucharist on Sunday, August 7.
We are delighted to welcome Mrs. Katherine Dienes-Williams as music director of the Girl’s Course. Katherine Dienes-Williams, MA, BMus, FRCO, Hon. ARSCM, Hon. GCM was appointed Organist and Master of the Choristers at Guildford Cathedral in January 2008 following six years as Director of Music at the Collegiate Church of St. Mary, Warwick. She is also the Musical Director of the Winchester-based chamber choir, Southern Voices.
