The choristers are not all singers by profession, however several of them have received professional vocal training and come together as volunteers on a weekly basis to learn new repertoire and rehearse for upcoming projects.

The choir features a variety of soloists including professionally trained counter tenors and tenors to world class basso-profundo’s.
