Music

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, Gillian Lyons (Music Director) will be posting weekly lectionary-based music on her Youtube channel “Gillian’s Music“.

St. Andrew’s Choir welcomes all new members!

The choir rehearses weekly and presents anthems approximately twice a month. Within the congregation, we are fortunate to have several instrumentalists and solo singers, allowing us to perform a variety of music. Local amateur and professional musicians offer their talents on a frequent basis as well. We use the Presbyterian Book of Praise hymn book, and we sing both traditional and contemporary hymns.

The St. Andrew’s Praise Group, under the leadership of Fafali Ahiahonu and including singers, guitar, piano, and djembe drum, occasionally offers musical presentations for the postlude.

Music Director, Pianist and Organist: Gillian Lyons. Choir Conductor: Terri-Lynn Mitchell

St. Andrew’s has a small but mighty Casavant pipe organ and a nine foot Baldwin concert grand piano. The piano is one of the best in the city, making St. Andrew’s a prime venue for recitals.

The choir rehearses in the sanctuary of the church from 7:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays from September to June. If we are presenting an anthem at the church service, we have a run-through of the anthem at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning.
