About the Choir:
Christ Church Choir is a non-professional
mixed choir of twenty to twenty-five voices.
From the Sunday after Labor Day through
mid-June, the choir provides service music
for the Sunday morning Eucharist, as well
as music for special services at Easter
and Christmas (and occasionally for Evensong
and Morning Prayer.) Rehearsals are held
at the church on Wednesday evenings from
7:30 to 8:30, and before the 10 AM service
on Sundays. During the summer, singing
in the choir is open to all, with rehearsals
on Sunday mornings only.
About the Organ:
The two-manual tracker
organ was built in 1972 by the Montreal-based
builder, Karl Wilhelm. the design and voicing
of this exceptionally fine instrument is
consistent with North German organs of
the 18th century.
