Choir
The St. Mark’s Choir of Men and Boys connects generations of Marksmen with a centuries-old tradition of music.
Known as one of the country’s pre-eminent boys’ choirs, the St. Mark’s Choir sings for many beloved and long-standing traditions of the St. Mark’s community, including monthly services of Choral Evensong in the Anglican choral tradition, the annual Festival of Lessons and Carols, Baccalaureate, and daily chapel services during the academic term. While performing in the St. Mark's Chapel, the Choir is accompanied by the Roosevelt Family Pipe Organ.
Under the direction of Organist and Choirmaster Glenn Stroh, the Choir performs music that spans centuries in a variety of styles and languages. Vocal training begins with a preparatory curriculum in the Lower School and continues through Middle and Upper School. The Choir has been affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music since 1951, allowing singers the opportunity to earn medals of distinction for their achievements. Choristers develop a seriousness of purpose and discipline that allows them to perform demanding music at the highest level.
The Upper School Choir participates in the annual ISAS Fine Arts Festival and Texas Private School Music Education Association competitions. The Choir is regularly invited to perform in residence at some of the oldest and most famous cathedrals around the world, including Norwich Cathedral, Winchester Cathedral, Hereford Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.
Members of the Choir have also sung the national anthem for major sports teams around Dallas, including the Texas Rangers and Dallas Mavericks.
