MEMPHIS BOYCHOIR

We are a non-denominational, non-sectarian ensemble, whose mission is to provide to the city of Memphis and its environs a spiritual and musical experience featuring the unique aural qualities of unchanged treble boys voices, AND to provide our choristers with the opportunity to participate in a musical discipline that builds confidence, collegiality, and teamwork. The boys sing periodic services at Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Memphis where the choir is in permanent residence by virtue of its charter.  Many of these concerts are sung alongside their adult counterparts, the Memphis Chamber Choir.
