Music at St. John’s
St. John’s has a long and proud tradition of excellent music making. Our beautiful and dynamic instruments serve to support worship in its many forms, and our choral music program is on full display throughout the program year. We celebrate diversity in musical offerings throughout the year, selecting from a wide range of repertoire to support and enhance the worship experience in all its forms.
Music makers of all ages and experience levels will feel engaged in our services, which are full of singing, and those particularly interested and experienced in the choral arts will delight in joining our choir program.
Whether you are age 4 or 94; whether you have sung in a choir your whole life or have never sung in a choir before; whether you read music or don’t, we have a place for you. Come, seek, sing!
If you have always wanted to try choir, just come, or you may send an email to Director of Music and Liturgy Jennifer Mulhern.
