The St. John's Choir

Supporting the worship from the choir loft are about twelve men and women, amateur and professional singers, who are the St. John's Choir. Led by organist-choirmaster Gordon King, the choir aspires, through music seamlessly integrated with liturgy, to lift us to that place where we can feel the Divine presence. The choir is an integral part of the Sunday liturgy, as well as feast days during the Church year, in a season ranging from September to the feast of Corpus Christi in late Spring.

The choir's repertoire ranges from ancient Gregorian chant and polyphony to newly composed music. Our heritage is the Anglican tradition, including the English cathedral music repertoire, as well as music of American composers. Our music is chosen to integrate with other aesthetic aspects of the liturgy, to create an artistically and spiritually unified whole.


For men and women who sing and read music reasonably well, and are willing to commit to the choir's schedule, the choir is a fun and spiritually rewarding musical ensemble The choir sings Sundays and major Holy Days from September through Corpus Christi in late spring. The choir rehearses at 9:30 Sunday mornings. Six additional rehearsals are scheduled on Thursday evenings during the year.
