CHICAGO - April 13, 2018 - PRLog -- St. James Cathedral in Chicago hosts The Choristers of St. Paul's Cathedral London on Saturday, April 21 for a one-night-only performance by the acclaimed choir considered one of the greatest in the world. This is the first time the in 65 years the choristers have performed in the city, and will do so during an eight-city U.S. tour.

There has been a choir at St. Paul's Cathedral for over nine centuries but its current structure, consisting of thirty singing boys and twelve professional adult singers (or Vicars Choral) was established in the 19^th century when Sir John Stainer was organist. The world-famous choir, led by Director of Music Andrew Carwood, will share the richness and diversity of choral music sung in a great Cathedral.  The Choristers of St. Paul's Cathedral dates back nearly 1000 years, and this rare performance in Chicago will be the first in this city since July 1953.

The concert will be held at St. James Cathedral, 65 E. Huron in Chicago. Long recognized for excellence and leadership in church music, St. James sought the opportunity to invite this esteemed choir and host this one-of-a-kind classical music experience.
