The Choirs

Music has been central to the worship life of this parish from the early days of its history.

​

For over a century the parish has carefully fostered the resources that will promote the fullest expression of Anglican worship. As a reflection of the English choral tradition, the Grace Church Choir is made up of singers of all ages, with adults, teens and younger choristers forming a single choir. The weekly Sung Eucharist uses music of all periods, from plainchant to medieval and Renaissance compositions, works of the English choral tradition, as well as those of contemporary composers. The Advent season begins with a Service of Lessons and Carols.

The choir sings at the Sunday Eucharist from September through mid-June. The music program also includes a Handbell Choirs made up of ringers of all ages, as well as a Beginning Handbell Choir. The choirs are affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music.

​

Membership in either of the choirs is open to anyone by means of a simple interview and audition. Parish membership is not a prerequisite to participation with the choir. Interested ringers or singers are always welcome to contact the Organist and Choirmaster.
