Choir
The St. Alban’s Episcopal Church choir is an inclusive and cohesive group of vocalists that performs every Sunday at the second Eucharist worship service, although not during the summer months when members are dispersed. The choir truly enjoys sharing music with others and endeavors to enhance the spiritual experience of all who are present for worship.
The talented St. Alban’s choir presents a wide variety of music and offers a diverse repertoire that covers all musical styles, from Baroque to Broadway, motets to spirituals, in English and foreign languages. The choir has performed in several community concert series, both as featured and collaborative artists, and as entertainment at numerous church events. Many choir members sing in other community ensembles, as well.
The choir rehearses most Thursday evenings in the choir room from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and briefly for one-half hour on Sunday mornings prior to the worship service. For more information, please contact the church and ask for Veronica Tomanek, the Principal Parish Musician.
