Sing unto Jehovah,O ye righteous, for His praise is comely for the upright. Confess ye to Jehovah on the harp, sing unto Him with the psaltery, an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise; for the Word of Jehovah is right, and all His work is in the truth. (Ps. 33:1-4).
St. Mary’s Indian Orthodox Cathedral’s choir known as St.Mary’s Cathedral Choir stands proudly as one of the most famous and oldest choirs in Bahrain and was officially started on September 2003.
