Parish Choir
Our Parish Choir serves the 10:30 a.m. Rite II Eucharist service and is made up of adults with a variety of musical training. The Parish Choir currently rehearses Wednesdays (during the program year) from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and gathers in the choir loft at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays before the service. Sometimes, the Parish Choir will present additional liturgical offerings such as 5:30 p.m. evensongs on Sundays. Choir repertoire ranges from medieval to modern, and explores a variety of music within the Anglican tradition, including the distinct art of Anglican chant.

Children’s Music Program
Children in Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to make a joyful noise with our Children’s Choir! Led by Director of Music Ministries Gabe Simerson, the Children’s Choir rehearses on Wednesdays during the program year from 5:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m. (with snacks available after 4:30 p.m.) in the Children’s Chapel and sings occasionally on Sunday mornings during the 10:30 a.m. worship service. No previous music knowledge or experience is required – our choir leaders will teach musical skill and knowledge at age-appropriate levels.
For more information or to join the Children’s Choir, contact Gabe Simerson.
Friends of Music
The Friends of Music are a group of volunteers who provide hospitality and logistical support for special musical events such as the St. Paul’s, Ivy Concert Series, hosting receptions, acting as ushers, and performing other supportive duties as may be helpful. With a current roster of roughly sixteen, any Friend might be called on only once or twice a year, and the only requirement for participation is interest!
If you would like to volunteer your time and talent to support welcoming musical events at St. Paul’s, email Director of Music Ministries contact Gabe Simerson.
