St. Paul’s Senior Choir is comprised of gifted individuals of all ages, dedicated to sacred music, but not exclusively. The core choir is comprised mostly of members of the parish, augmented by paid choristers. The choir provides worship music on Sundays and festive days from mid-September to mid-June. It performs occasional services, such as Evensongs, and participates in concerts. Regular rehearsals are Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Membership is open to all interested. An audition with the choirmaster is generally required.

St. Paul’s Handbell Choir provides music for worship services at St. Paul’s and an opportunity for volunteers to share their musical gifts. The bell choir is open to anyone who has a working knowledge of music and the ability to attend rehearsals on a regular basis. The Handbell Choir rehearses weekly and plays in a worship service monthly.
Choirs for Children & Youth
The St. Paul’s Choirs for children and youth offer an outstanding choral program designed to nurture young hearts and voices and raise up joyful, confident singers. We know that every boy and girl can sing, and we believe in supporting the artist within each individual child – helping them develop strong, healthy vocal skills, deep musical understanding, the ability to work together with a team, and a sense of the power of music to inspire our community.
St. Paul’s choir program is nationally recognized! The choir curriculum is affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM), an international organization dedicated to uplifting the spiritual life of our communities through high-quality choral music. We provide a structured program that teaches vocal technique, music theory and notation, sight reading skills, a diverse repertoire in the Anglican choral tradition, and an appreciation of the meaning and context of our music.
Our choirs are fun! Rehearsals are supportive and encouraging, fostering Christian growth and fellowship as we develop as singers together. No audition is required, and young people are welcome to join at any time.
All children of the parish are invited to join one of the choirs. Rehearsals resume after Labor Day. For more information, contact Kelsey Ferguson, Director of Music for Children and Youth.
