Choir
Your Choir wants you!
Our St. Gregory Church Choir is looking for additional voices, sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. Teenagers are welcomed and especially encouraged to participate! All are welcomed!!
The Choir is made of a group of professionals and amateurs who enjoy singing. Most of our members have been singing from an early age and held prominent roles in Armenian operatic productions.
We are blessed with a talented director and organist. Both professionals make our choir a special place for all who enjoy singing.
