Choral music Sunday 2024

The fifth Sunday in Lent at St John’s has traditionally been a service where extended musical pieces are offered, and this year was no exception. The focus piece was Felix Mendelssohn’s Hear My Prayer, including the lovely “O for the Wings of a Dove” movement, beautifully sung by contralto Amelia Wheeler, featuring Emily Markwart on organ, all conducted by Michelle Boyd.  This recording is available on our YouTube channel here. Congratulations to all members of St John’s choir for their dedication and hard work to make this year’s “Choral Music Sunday” such a wonderful experience. 
 
This is an important experience for our Choral Scholars, as it provides exposure to wonderful music composed for the Church, which they may not encounter in their studies. Our Choral Scholar Program is made possible through generous donations from parishioners and other supporters. If you would like to support this musical ministry, please follow the instructions found on our Donations page, ensuring that your donation is clearly marked in support of the Choral Scholar Program.
