About 

The All Catholic Festivals are honor ensembles for advanced high school musicians in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Any student who attends a Archdiocesan or Private Catholic High School in the Archdiocese are elegible to audition. If selected, students attend a three-day festival under the direction of a guest conductor. The festivals are hosted at a rotation of Archdiocesan and Private Catholic High Schools.


Audition Registration opens in October. Students prepare the required audition material and auditions are held the first week of December. Students will be notified of their acceptance no later than a week after auditions are held. 


In previous years, the All Catholic Ensembles have performed at the Kimmel Center for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Concert of Excellence.
