Music

St. Luke's has a rich history of musical excellence. For over a century the church supported a choir that has enhanced and enriched its worship.  That tradition continues today in the St. Luke's Church Choir, St. Luke's Festival Choir, and St. Luke's Handbell Choir.

Led by Choirmaster Bill Claxton and Organist Terry Heisey, our choirs tackle sophisticated literature and the congregation is accustomed to a variety of languages and historical style periods. The St. Luke's Festival Choir is formed from our own members who are joined by voices from throughout the county to share in the rich heritage of Anglican Evensong. The Festival Choir performs entire masterworks, such as Bach Cantatas, The Messiah, and John Rutter's Requiem. Every month from September to June each year the Festival Choir sings Evensong and hosts a variety of choirs, instrumental ensembles, and organists in concert. Other series like this exist in England and major United States cities, including New York, Washington, and Philadelphia, but this is one of the very few outside of major metropolitan areas. We invite your participation in and support of this unique musical experience.
