Music & the Arts
Many of our music and arts programs are currently on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read below to learn more about the beloved music and choral music traditions at St. Paul’s.
Choirs
Adult volunteers, professional singers, and the St. Paul’s Choristers come together to lead the hymns and anthems at worship each Sunday. The choirs also participate in concerts, special services such as Evensong, and other events throughout the year. The Compline Choir (separate upper and lower voices choirs) sings chant and polyphony every Sunday night for the 9 PM service of Compline.
St. Paul’s believes deeply in the power of congregational singing, and so our choir’s primary responsibility is to lead and inspire congregational song. Though we use the Hymnal 1982 as our primary musical resource, we frequently draw from other sources as well.
Organ
Our 1928 E.M. Skinner organ was installed and enlarged in 1992, and was restored and enlarged in 2007 by the Reuter Organ Company of Lawrence, Kansas. Read more, and see the organ’s specifications, at this link.
