Much of the music we will sing and hear for our Reckoning with Racism liturgies this Sunday is based on African-American spirituals.

Choral Evensong is coming right up on Wednesday, October 19 at 7pm. Join the St. Michael’s Singers for this special mid-week service as day turns to night, offering hymns, readings, psalms and prayers for the Feast of St. Luke.

The music of classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) will be highlighted during Sunday’s 9:00 am and 11:00 am services.
Looking ahead, we invite you to two music-program events. Soup & Sing! is on Wednesday, October 12, at 5:30 pm. Children, families, parents and singers of all ages are welcome to come share a simple soup supper before we sing together.
Also,, our first Choral Evensong since before the pandemic will be held on Wednesday, October 19, at 7:00 pm. The choir is preparing Stanford’s “Magnificat” and “Nunc dimittis in G,” Henry Balfour Gardiner’s “Evening Hymn,” and lots more transcendent music!

The Saints & Singers Choir is back for the new choir season this Sunday at the 11:00am service. Meanwhile, our 9:00am service will feature music by the German Romantic composer Johannes Brahms.

This Sunday, in celebration of our patronal feast day, the St. Michael’s Singers will sing two choral anthems at the 9am and 11am services.

This Sunday’s 10:00 am service is brought to you by English composers. As the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II, we will feature music by Herbert Brewer (1865-1928), Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), and Frank Bridge (1879-1941), all English composers who were alive when Elizabeth was young.

Choir is back! We welcome the new choir season with the full St. Michael’s Singers at the 10:00 am service this Sunday. The service will be slightly different than usual as we feature Recovery Sunday, and we also change our service music from its summertime flavor to some classic Rutter and Schubert settings. For the anthem, the choir will sing an arrangement of Wondrous Love by Alice Parker and Robert Shaw, sung here during the height of the pandemic by our choir staff singers.

Thank you to our wonderful soloists this summer! We got to enjoy small ensembles singing a few anthems (with minimal rehearsal!, vocal duets, organ+piano duets, classic flute duets, the Misa Coro and instrumentalists at our parish picnic; a first sacred music solo, and a young woman astound us on clarinet this past Sunday. What a glorious array of musical delights to fill the time until our choirs are back for the season on Sunday, September 11.
