Music at All Saints'
​​
“They who sing, pray twice.”
​
At All Saints’ Church, music is not merely an artform, but an act of devotion and worship to Almighty God. Through the singing of hymns, psalms and spiritual songs, we give thanks to God for love and beauty.
Drawn from centuries of musical history, our music reflects our rich heritage of our Anglican heritage. Our offerings span ancient plainsong, motets, music from the Reformation, classical, through the contemporary, living composers. Each program year, we sing choral evensong, Lessons & Carols, music of the Taizé community, concerts in collaboration with other local choirs and orchestra, and occasional performances in Philadelphia and New York City. We also have served as a residency choir at Exeter, UK.
