St. Thomas's Anglican Church

Read Profile

St. Thomas’s music program elevates our worship, freely offering the gift of music to anyone coming through our doors (physically, or virtually via livestream). Music creates community and meaningful connection as we attract skilled choristers and other musicians, feature guest artists from our parish and beyond, and welcome all who come to hear them. Under the leadership of Interim Director of Music Elizabeth Anderson, choral and organ music are offered at the 9:30am Sung Mass, at the 11am High Mass, and at Evensong and Devotions at 5pm Evensong, a service of prayers and music, features the great heritage of Anglican sacred music as sung in British cathedrals. We welcome experienced choristers who value a high standard of ensemble singing to audition by contacting eanderson@stthomas.on.ca.

In the coming months, our plan is to develop a children’s music program based on the Royal School of Church Music model to deliver music education, provide exposure to the Anglican church music tradition, and draw young people and their families to St. Thomas’s. A series of lecture-recitals is being planned for 2023. Our traditional Baroque Music by Candlelight is offered each year during Holy Week.
