Adult Choir

The Adult Choir at St. Luke’s is comprised of 34 volunteer and 10 professional staff singers. Repertoire for this choir spans five centuries, with a particular emphasis on standards of the Anglican choral tradition. Highlights this season include Advent Lessons & Carols, choral leadership for Diocesan Ordination at the Cathedral of St. Philip in December, and a joint Choral Evensong with Choristers from Canterbury Court. Rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. Those interested in joining the choir are encouraged to contact Director of Music Matthew Brown.
