We seek to continually enhance the worship experience through a balanced repertoire of traditional hymns, Music of the Masters, psalms and songs of praise and renewal. Choir opportunities are available for adults and children.

St. Martin's Music Staff

The liturgy at St. Martin's includes classic Anglican music and a blend of renewal and contemporary sources performed in classic style. Our Parish Choir is comprised of some 85 members including professional staff singers. The choir sings 52 weeks a year and for principal Feast Days. Our Children's Choirs sing on special occasions throughout the year. Orchestral Instruments often augment our Gloria Dei Organ and Baldwin Concert Grand Piano during worship services and special musical events.

St. Martin's Parish Choir
High school through adult ages. Fellowship and prayer are a part of our weekly gathering. Choral Vespers occur regularly and include Music of the Masters. Rehearsals are weekly on Thursday evenings, 7:00-9:15 PM in the Choir Hall. Members choose which of two Sunday Services they sing for: 8:00 AM rehearsal for 9:00 AM; or 10:00 AM rehearsal for 11:00 AM. Some members choose to sing both services. Ability to match musical pitch and contribute to the choral blend is a routine requirement. Communication regarding attendance is essential.
