Music at All Saints'

Music plays an integral part of our worship life. We enjoy music from a wide range of musical styles, genres and composers: classical, spirituals, Taize, world music, traditional hymns, American folk songs, Anglican chant, jazz-inspired anthems... anything that will make your heart sing!
And we hope that you will also sing with your voice, whether you are in the congregation or in the choir. St. Augustine is credited with having said: "He [or she!] who sings prays twice." So we offer our singing and our music with love and joy as prayer and praise to God.

All Saints Choir

All Saints' Choir meets on Thursdays from 7:30-9:00 pm. In choir friendship and fellowship are as important as the music. Our choir sings weekly at the 10 am service during the school year.
Our ensembles are open to all ages.

All Saints Bell Choir

The Bell Choir rehearses on Thursdays from 6:00-7:00pm. They play our three-octave set of Malmark bells, and our two-octave set of hand chimes. No previous experience is necessary. If you are interested in participating (or just trying it out) we can teach you what you need to know!
Our ensembles are open to all ages.

Instruments

Members of the congregation also contribute their talent on various instruments, including: flute, clarinet, violin, drums and trumpet.  We use both piano and organ to accompany singing and as solo instruments.  Anyone who loves to sing, or who has an instrumental talent who would like to contribute to the spiritual life at All Saints’ is encouraged to contact Alison Siener Brown.  All are welcome!

Our Director of Music

Alison Siener Brown has her Master's of Music in Sacred Music and Organ Performance from Northwestern University and an undergraduate degree in Sacred Music from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. She directs the choirs and accompanies our congregational singing on the organ and the piano. Alison also maintains a studio of private piano students.

Our Organ

The All Saints' organ is a three-manual, 34 rank instrument, with tracker action in the French style.  It was built in 1999 by Gilbert F. Adams of North Carolina. It stands in the rear of the Church to support the singing of the congregation.

We also have a baby grand piano in the choir area and an upright piano at the front of the Nave to give us flexibility in our Choir's placement.
