Music News

Join us for one of many opportunities not only to enjoy music, but to let it breathe into your soul, and experience the awe and majesty of God’s wonders through the gift of music.


​For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands, I sing for joy.
– Psalm 92:4


“No created powers can mar our Lord Jesus’ music, nor spill our song of Joy.
​Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord.”

– Samuel Retherford

 

​As Episcopalians, we are inheritors of a rich Anglican Choral Tradition of exceptional quality. We embrace that tradition at St. David’s by offering music that has stood the test of time; we also champion the work of modern-day composers who prove that God continues to speak to musicians writing today. Our music selections are guided by the lectionary readings for the day, as well as the liturgical season. We encourage all who desire to make music to have the opportunity to share their gifts in worship. Through a variety of ensembles and worship times, we provide opportunities to participate for all ages and a variety of experience levels.

The musical season is from September through May. Small groups and soloists provide special music through the summer months.
