Saint Thomas Choir School
It resides in a fifteen-story building located at 202 West 58th Street in midtown Manhattan, one block south of Central Park.Designed by the architecture firm Buttrick White & Burtis, the $18 million, 55,000-square-foot (5,100 m2), steel-frame building was clad in red brick, with limestone trim and gray brick accents, rising six stories before stepping back twenty feet, then rising eight more stories to a gabled roof form containing a small chapel illuminated by a large circular window.The principal feature of the lower facade is a three-story window (suggestive of an "oriel"), framed in buff Indiana limestone with red granite accents.[7] In March 2024, Saint Thomas Church warned that due to rising costs, it could not continue running the school unless it raised $50 million in endowment funds.The choir's primary raison d'être, however, is to provide music for five choral services each week at Saint Thomas Church.The choir has toured throughout the U.S. and Europe, performing at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral in London; Kings College, Cambridge; Windsor Castle; Edinburgh; St. Albans; and at the Aldeburgh Festival.
