The University of Notre Dame Women's Liturgical Choir is a group of about 50 women who provide music for the Saturday 5 p.m. Vigil Liturgy in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. During the school year, this mass is televised and is broadcast at 7 a.m. ET on the Hallmark Channel. The choir is under the direction of Dr. Andrew McShane, with the assistance of Dr. Gail Walton and the accompaniment of Carrie Groenowold. The Women's Liturgical Choir is also heard at Sunday Vespers, weddings, Junior Parent's weekend, Advent Lessons and Carols and other special University liturgies. Each spring semester the choir tours within the United States, and at the end of the academic year presents a concert of sacred music at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The repertoire of the Women's Liturgical Choir includes chant, renaissance polyphony and music from the eighteenth through twentieth centuries. Practices are held on Mondays from 5 - 6:30 p.m., Wednesdays from 6 - 7:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 4 - 5 p.m. in the Coleman-Morse Center. If you are a female student, staff or faculty member from the Notre Dame, St. Mary's or Holy Cross family and are interested in joining the choir, please contact Andrew McShane at 1-7800 or email mcshane.1@nd.edu. |
