WE'VE MOVED!
A New Chapter Begins!
After 25 incredible years at Trinity Episcopal Church in Torrington, Chorus Angelicus is moving to a new home! Starting this summer, we’ll be rehearsing and making music at the First Church of Christ, Congregational at 75 Main Street in Farmington, Connecticut.
This move brings us closer to many of our singers and families, helping us grow and reach even more young voices across the region.
We remain deeply grateful to the loving community at Trinity Church in Torrington for embracing us with open arms for over a quarter century. Your grace, hospitality, and steadfast support have shaped who we are.

A Message From Joyful Noise, Inc.
Joyful Noise stands in solidarity with all of those calling for justice and equity during this time of deep pain. As a choral organization, we know that voices are meant to be heard. We say the names of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and countless other black and brown Americans taken unjustly. We honor their lives and mourn their murders. We join our voices with those across our state and nation to insist: Black Lives Matter.
We pledge to engage in education, self-reflection and action to uproot systems of oppression -- in our own choirs, in the choral community at large, and in our local towns and cities. We commit to working with intention and in community with our artists, students, families, neighbors and audiences to combat racial injustice.
