Angels in the Arts: Praising God through Vocal, Instrumental, and Theater Arts
 

Children in grades 3-8 from any school are welcome to join Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish Children’s Choir. The choir is led by Mrs. Natalie Van der Roest, accompanied by Ms. Erica Kang, Handbell Choir (grades 5-8) directed by Dr. Patricia Lamb, and Theater Arts directed by Mr. Michael Upward. Members learn healthy vocal and instrumental technique, musical notation reading and theatrical skills. In addition, they grow in Christian character and develop self-control, cooperation, kindness and commitment as well as cultivating a spirit of service to the parish community as leaders in worship. The liturgical and theatrical music is chosen with the goal of reflecting the values of our Church so that the children use their body, mind, spirit and voice to praise God.  

 

We offer an optional winter musical presenting Matilda in collaboration with South County Performing Arts. In May we will present the Christian youth musical Are We There Yet? about Moses and the Exodus.

 

The schedule is as follows:

  • Gaudete Choir (grades 3-4) - snack at 2:45, rehearsal in the Choir Room from 3:00-4:00.
  • Cantate Choir (grades 5-8) - snack at 2:45, breakout sessions 3:00-4:00 (handbells with Dr. Lamb, vocal and drama coaching with Mr. Upward), choral rehearsal and part-singing 4:00-4:45.
  • Theater Arts (Matilda) is on Mondays from September - February. Concurrent enrollment in Choir is required.
