Under the leadership of Mr Scott Hanoian, Director of Music and Organist, the Christ Church choirs continue a long tradition of excellence in sacred music. Among the finest Anglican choirs within the United States today, the choirs of Christ Church sing at over 100 choral services each year, regularly offering their voice to our collective prayer and praise.
The choir consists of boys and girls from 4th through 12th grade and professional singers from Grosse Pointe and the surrounding metropolitan Detroit area who sing alto, tenor, and bass to complete the traditional choral sound.
With a remarkable repertoire of over 200 anthems and motets, choristers excel at musical performance, learning to read music, and perform at a level well beyond their peers in age.
The rigorous and intensive choral training offered to the choristers is unique, and requires a deep commitment by choristers and their families. At Christ Church, choristers pursue a professional level course of musical training and play an important role in the life of both the Church and the Grosse Pointe community. In order to achieve the desired excellence in worship and formation, Choristers rehearse three times per week and the choirs are responsible for leading worship for Sunday morning and afternoon services and presenting concerts throughout the season.
The Christ Church Choir has a rich history of touring nationally and internationally. Past tours have included England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Italy, Spain, and Australia.
