The choir has been singing Gregorian chant during the Sunday morning High Masses in the Basilica of Saint Liduina & Our Lady of the Rosary in Schiedam for over 145 years.
In addition to Gregorian chant, they also sing polyphonic Latin masses and motets.
The choir has just under 20 members and is accompanied by a historic organ.
In 2024, their Gregorian chant tradition was recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Netherlands, due to its living continuity since 1880.
In short: one of the few places in the Netherlands where the authentic Gregorian tradition is still practiced weekly in the liturgy.
