The American Federation of Pueri Cantores (AFPC), the national student choral organization of the Catholic Church, invites all parish and school treble and mixed voice choirs (grades 4-12) in the region to participate in a Choral Festival & Mass.
200-300 students from various Catholic schools and churches around Northern California will unite for a day of musical excellence, spiritual and personal growth, academic and cultural enrichment, and community, inclusion, and friendship.
In preparation of the festival day, individual choirs will rehearse and learn the festival repertoire with their choir directors and music teachers. On the day of the festival, the combined choir of hundreds of students will be led by nationally recognized Catholic conductor/educator Dr. Bryan Zaros and will engage and inspire the gathered choristers, bringing the sacred music to life.
The festival day will last 7 hours with ample rehearsal time, lunch/snack breaks, opportunities for youth to interact with their peers, and the day will culminate with the Festival Vigil Mass, where the trained combined choir shares their beautiful young voices to enhance the liturgy, which will be celebrated by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone.
