Choirs
Sing with the St. Mark’s Parish Choir!
Singers are needed in all sections for this diverse, enthusiastic, and dedicated group, essential to the beauty and spiritual depth of sung services. We sing music from all periods, perform extended works in concert, and offer Evensong and the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols each season. With the help of our newly-formed Friends of Music at St. Mark’s, this year we will add a gala concert accompanied by an instrumental ensemble.
It is our privilege and honor, our “care and delight” to sing every Sunday (September through early June/Trinity Sunday) and for all major holidays of the church year.
Weekday rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings, 7-8:45pm. If you love to sing, have some sight-reading ability, and would enjoy this labor of love with a wonderful group of people. Learn how you can be a part of our choir.

We welcome current and new members to join one of our two children’s choir levels:

Joyful Noyze!
This joyful chorus is for youngsters in kindergarten through second grade. The group uses movement and musical games, and in addition, gives the children the opportunity to begin learning notes and music as they begin to read. Register Here.
The Choristers
Our more advanced choir for children in third through sixth grades. Ned Tipton has some fun new ways for the children to develop their vocal skills while participating more fully in worship. This is a great time to join, even if your children have not previously participated in either choir. Register Here.
