Music – Our Lord Christ the King

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:16‬

2026-2027 Schedule

Parish Choir

The choir of Our Lord Christ the King Church provides musical leadership weekly at the 9 AM Sunday Mass from the first Sunday following Labor Day in September through the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The choir also sings for liturgies at Christmas, Holy Week and Easter, and for parish sacramental celebrations of First Eucharist and Confirmation at the Cathedral Basilica.

The choir sings a wide variety of repertoire from the Church’s sacred treasury of music throughout the centuries, ranging from chant and polyphony (in Latin and English) to contemporary choral works.  All adults capable of matching pitch are urged to contact Michael Dailey by phone at (513) 898-9687 or by e-mail at dailey_m@olctk.org. No formal training is required to join the choir.

St. Rose Music Society

Our Mission

The mission of the St. Rose Music Society is to uplift, inspire, and bring joy to our community through exceptional performances of sacred music.

With each performance on our series, we seek to enrich and deepen the spiritual lives of our artists and audiences. We rise above the noise to present a musical experience with beauty at its core. Filling the space with outstanding music, we create a spiritual and enriching atmosphere for all our artists and audiences. We share this music with the community, making concerts accessible to all who wish to enjoy them.

About the Music Society

The St. Rose Music Society was founded by music director Trevor Kroeger and has become a beacon of sacred music performance in the region, entertaining and inspiring not only parishioners, but individuals from across the tristate region and beyond. Over the past eight years, our Christmas concerts have been blessed with tremendous success. What began as a single concert with less than 150 attendees and 10 musicians in 2015 has grown into three concerts with over 1,100 attendees featuring 55 of Cincinnati’s finest professional musicians. Our Christmas concert was recognized by Movers & Makers Magazine in 2019 as one of the Best Large Vocal Ensemble Concerts in Cincinnati.
