St. Mary’s Music Programs

St. Mary’s Choirs are always open to new members! These groups focus on basic vocal training and accessible music. The Parish Choir is comprised of singers with more musical experience, rehearsing Wednesday evenings from 6:45-8:15pm and Sundays at 9:00am. During the summer, the Summer Choir rehearses at 9:00am on Sunday mornings for the 10:00am service. This choir provides the principal musical leadership for the 10:00am service as well as special services such as Evensongs and concerts throughout the year. Please call our Minister of Music, Dr. Mark Lawlor if you would like to learn more.

The Music & Arts Committee exists to support the music program in its outreach to the community. This committee has enabled the church to commission new music, engage professional instrumentalists for festive occasions, and purchase special music equipment. The Music & Arts Committee is integral to organizing and hosting the annual Cape Cod Early Music Festival.

Our Organ In 1986, at a time of renovation to the sanctuary, a 20-stop mechanical-action instrument in Baroque style was built and installed by Karl Wilhelm of Mont Ste. Hillaire, Quebec, Canada. In 2002, upon the retirement of the Rev. David E. Allen after 22 years of service to St. Mary’s, the organ was named in his honor.
