The choir and the congregation were excited to take the next step towards worshiping in person in the nave on Easter Sunday 2022. The choir is still masked while they sing, but that didn’t keep them from providing a wide range of great Easter music for the congregation.
The adult choir has a deep commitment to music ministry at St. Luke’s. Each August the choir season begins with a retreat and continues with Wednesday evening and Sunday morning (pre-liturgy) rehearsals September through May. Our choral anthems are drawn from a body of repertoire encompassing many centuries of church music.
The enhanced acoustical space resulting from the Worship Enhancement Project brings a significant improvement to the effect and overall sound of our choral music. A highlight of each year is a 30-minute offering of choral and instrumental music at the late Christmas Eve service. The choir also participates in Holy Week services and other special liturgical occasions. We are working toward offering Choral Evensong regularly. Choir membership is open to adults willing to make at least a yearlong commitment. A knowledge of basic music reading is expected.
