In August, 2023, St. Michael’s, excited to start a new chapter of Music ministry, welcomed Dr. Keane Southard, Ph.D as our Director of Music. You may read more about Keane on our website HERE and at Keane’s own website HERE.
Choir at St. Michael’s
The St. Michael’s choir is a lively and friendly group of singers, currently numbering 20-plus members, with ages ranging from the teens on up. The all-volunteer choir meets weekly on Sunday morning from 8:45-10:00 am, with additional rehearsals scattered throughout the year and an all-day retreat in preparation for our return after our summer break.
In addition to weekly services, the choir sings an annual Advent Service of Lessons and Carols, seasonal Evensong and Taizé services, and occasional special programming. The repertoire of the choir is very wide, including traditional Anglican anthems and service music, gospel and spirituals, American traditional music, a variety of early music, and new compositions by exciting contemporary composers.
There is no audition for the choir, but music literacy and/or choral experience is helpful.
