Music


Music Director: Dr. David McCalla

We encourage everyone to participate in the music at St. John's.

Choir practice takes place on Sunday morning at 9:00 am

Two children's choirs have been formed in addition to the adult Canterbury Choir. The Cherub Choir is for the younger and the St. Nicholas Choir is for the older children. Children in the latter group who wish to make the leap to the adult choir are encouraged to do so.

Parishioners of any age who have musical gifts are encouraged to share them with the congregation at the 10:30 service, whether they be individuals, small groups, vocalists, or instrumentalists.

The music at our 10:30 service draws from different traditions, chief of which is the Episcopal 1982 Hymnal. We also draw from different ethnic traditions, including monastic chants and contemporary music.
