MUSIC AT ALL SAINTS

The marriage of music and liturgy at All Saints dates back to the church's early years when All Saints rented an organ--for $10--each season, and paid $1 to have it shipped from Philadelphia. In the 20th century, inspired by the late Dr. Lee Hastings Bristol, Jr., then President of the Westminster Choir College, All Saints' developed a small but magnificent music program that thrives to this day. In 1973, he was also "instrumental" in our obtaining the 2-manual, 13-stop, Casavant Tracker organ that required restoration after Superstorm Sandy.

Our four-part choir, which is an integral part of 10:15 Sunday service, is often supplemented by string quartets or brass at festival services.

Most recently, thanks to a generous challenge gift and the enthusiastic response of the parish, All Saints has acquired a new 7.5-foot Yamaha S7x concert grand piano. It will replace the 40-year-old instrument that never fully recovered from damage caused by Superstorm Sandy. We are grateful for the commitment of so many parish and community members to our music program.

On May 17, 2024, All Saints celebrated 50 years with our Casavant organ with a special concert featuring Dr. Michael J. Diorio, organ soloist, and the All Saints Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Dr. Mark Trautman. You can view the program lineup and information about the performers here.
