MUSICAL INFORMATION FOR NEW SINGERS & CHORAL SCHOLARS

THE ANGLICAN LITURGY

As you may gather from the list below, the Anglican Liturgy as celebrated at Holy Trinity Geneva is musically very rich. In any one month, the amount and complexity of the music is equivalent to a full-scale concert. This is why we maintain a full choir capable of sustaining this very special worship tradition, as maintained in most city centre churches, cathedrals and collegiate chapels throughout the Anglican Communion.
