Boy Choir Recruitment Event
October 16, 2008 6:00pm Interested boys and their parents are encouraged to attend and learn about the opportunities that choir membership offers. In November the choir will make their fifth trip to England where they will perform and tour. For more information, contact Andy Koebler at 288-781, or akoebler@AllSaintsRichmond.org. Few churches offer a music program so rich in history and tradition! In 1899, All Saints ...then located downtown on Franklin Street... started a Choir of Men and Boys. This choir is now celebrating over one hundred years of music in the city of Richmond. In the last 16 years, the Choir of Men and Boys at All Saints has appeared in Great Britain four (4) times and visited most recently in November of 2004; it has sung at The National Cathedral in Washington D. C. and it has produced a recording and made several triumphant tours throughout the East Coast. |

| But music here is far more than just a choir of men and boys! There are two other choirs, not counting a choir which sings in the summer, appropriately called the Summer Choir, which is open to anyone, regardless of ability or musical experience. |

| An adult choir of over thirty people sings in Sunday services on an alternating basis with the Choir of Men and Boys. This group is known for the performance of a great breadth of music literature: from the Renaissance to the post-modern, from English anthems to spirituals, the Adult Choir sings it all! |
