The Young Catholic Musicians, a talented group of young singers and instrumentalists aged 11- 20 from throughout the Metro St. Louis area, provided the music at 10:30 AM Mass at Ss. Peter Paul on April 19. The experience was inspiring and uplifting for our parishioners.

The orchestra and choir consists of 120 musicians.

Two parishioners are members:

Adam Wilson, Cello

Lucas Thorpe, Violin

The choir consists of sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. The orchestra is composed of strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments.

The Young Catholic Musicians lead the music for Mass at various churches once each month giving strong support to the congregation during Mass, encouraging full and active participation.  These young musicians perform two concerts each year, a Christmas concert of sacred music and a Spring Concert featuring popular and patriotic music.  The Christmas Concert is followed by a weekend tour in January and the Spring Concert is performed in May and followed by a nine day tour the second week of June.  These tour destinations include:  New York City, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Canada, Denver, New Orleans, etc.

The Young Catholic Musicians is open to young people from all religious traditions, realizing that their talents and services will most often be dedicated to the congregations at Catholic parishes.
