The Schola Cantorum of St. Dominic's is a group of singers and instrumentalists, both professional and volunteer, dedicated to performing the repertory of what the Second Vatican Council described as "the vast treasury of sacred music." The Schola Cantorum of St. Dominic's present these works at the Solemn Mass every Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. at St. Dominic's Church, as well as on solemnities and Holy Days. The repertory spans the centuries of the Christian era, written by the greatest composers of every age. The goal of the Schola is giving performances of sacred compositions within their true liturgical context to enhance the prayer of the people. The ensemble encourages the commissioning and performing of new works by local and internationally known composers. A glance at the music calendar page of this website will show the broad range of music that we perform. (View Schedule)

The ensemble has also recorded two CDs of sacred music of composers such as Palestrina, Victoria, Josquin, Buxton, Viadana, Tallis, Byrd and Holst. (View Recordings)
