Children are especially invited to this concert. Free.

Music plays a critical liturgical role in Anglican worship. Over the past several years St. Christopher's has taken a number of steps to strengthen the music program and to make our music even more meaningful to those attending our liturgies and special events, including the establishment of the Choir School, the expansion of the scope and variety of the choral anthems, and the commissioning of a new Dobson pipe organ (Op. 98), installed in 2021.

Any who wish to demonstrate their support for music at St. Christopher’s may deliver a check to the church at any time. Please indicate “Friends of Music” on the memo line of your check. One may also make a secure donation via Paypal by clicking below.

Either as a part of the Friends of Music program or separately, parishioners and friends may also wish to donate $100 toward the purchase of new choral music (each anthem in our library costs about $100). The donor may dedicate the anthem in honor, celebration, or memory of the person(s) or event of their choice, and when that anthem is sung in church, this will be recognized in the leaflet. To participate in this ongoing program, please contact Maury. Or you may make a secure donation using Paypal:
