The Saint Joseph Cathedral Choir is composed of approximately 30 professional and volunteer singers from throughout the Metropolitan Columbus area and beyond. The Cathedral Choir provides music for the 10:30 a.m. Solemn Mass each Sunday from September through June. The Choir also maintains a rigorous schedule of pontifical celebrations, diocesan liturgies, and concerts. The choir has twice performed for the Conference of Roman Catholic Cathedral Musicians. The choir's reputation for musical excellence has earned it invitations for concerts at the cathedrals of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, and to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame. The Choir has also been featured on "With Heart and Voice," a nationally syndicated radio program that features the organ and choral music of many of the world's most famous choirs and organists. While Renaissance polyphony forms the core of its repertoire, the Cathedral Choir has received accolades for its performances of romantic and twentieth century pieces, as well. The choir's repertoire of Byrd, Palestrina, and Tallis is balanced by music of Herbert Howells, Maurice Duruflé, Frank Martin, and Pierre Villette. Reviewing the Choir's 2004 performance of Frank Martin's Messe, the Columbus Dispatch hailed the Choir for its "purity of tone, careful attention to intonation and dynamics, and sensitivity to the text." Sacred Music Magazine applauded lauded the choir for its "enviable blend, balance and faultless intonation."
