Pre-Evensong Organ Recital: Edward Poston

Sunday, November 1, 3:35 p.m. Please bring a personal care item to donate to the Chatham Food Pantry. Edward Poston will present music of Bach, Dubois, Howells, and Karg-Elert. Poston, a native of Clearfield, Utah, holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Organ & Church Music from Brigham Young University-Idaho and the University of Kansas, respectively. He is a doctoral student at the University of Kansas in the doctoral dissertation phase of his degree. An avid collaborator, Edward was a rehearsal pianist for KU Choirs from 2017–2025, and was the first associate conductor of the KU Bales Chorale Society from 2024–2025. He recently served as Associate Organist and Communications Coordinator at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Detroit, Michigan and now serves as Minister of Music at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Barnstable. A burgeoning hymnologist, Edward was a recipient of the Austin C. Lovelace Scholarship with the Hymn Society in the United States & Canada in 2023, 2024, and 2025. His most recent organ studies include attending the 2026 Haarlem Organ Festival in the Netherlands.

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:
