Jun. 06, 1953 - Coronation Choir to Sing in the U.S. Those unable to attend the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II will have an opportunity to see a small part of it when the coir who sang throughout the service in Westminster Abbey comes to the U.S. this fall on an eight weeks tour of the U.S. and Canada. The choir, known as the St. Paul's Cathedral Choir, which is made up of 30 boys and 18 men, will sing in cathedrals and concert halls in 40 of the larger cities, including Carnegie Hall, in New York. The tour will coincide with the building of the American Memorial Chapel in St. Paul's Cathedral to honour the 28,000 members of the U.S. armed forces who lost their lives while based in Britain during World War II.
