About our Music…Throughout the year St. David’s offers an eclectic variety of hymns and service music from the regular Episcopal sources and beyond. Some weeks you may hear chanted Psalms with an anthem by Fauré and others Gospel tunes with tambourines. The Choir sings at the 10:00 AM service from mid-September through Pentecost. In the summer we often feature soloists or duets for the anthem, while the choir enjoys a break to sit in the pews with family and house guests! Choir rehearsal is at 5:30 PM on Wednesdays, throughout the school year. All ages and abilities are welcome. When you sing, you pray twice!!

We have a beautiful Roche Pipe organ of 26 ranks which was installed in 1993.
In 2010 eleven digital ranks provided by the Walker Technical Company were added bringing the total to 37. These new voices make choral accompaniment more effective, performance of organ literature more exciting and congregational singing better supported.
