Continuing its long tradition of musical excellence, Christ Church Deer Park boasts an innovative music program. Our choir, consisting of professional members and skilled volunteers, performs a rich treasury of sacred choral music and hymnody at the 10am Sunday liturgy. The choir also performs at other special events, feast days, Evensongs and concerts throughout the year. Rehearsals take place on Thursday evenings from 6:45pm to 8:45pm and offer an opportunity to develop musicianship through vocal instruction, while being part of an open and welcoming community. In addition, we present Jazz Vespers, a popular, informal service held bi-monthly from September to June and featuring some of the city’s finest jazz musicians. For more information contact Matthew Otto, director of music.

Steeped in musical heritage and assisted by a generous acoustic, St. Mary Magdalene’s offers a music program strongly rooted in the tradition established by Healey Willan. Every Sunday at the 11am Solemn Mass the Gallery Choir sings a mass and motet from the west gallery, while the Ritual Choir sings the Gregorian propers from the east end. Both choirs rehearse on Thursdays.

At the 9.30am Sung Mass the SMM Singers sing a motet and lead congregational singing. Membership is informal: rehearsals are at 9.00am directly before the service; regular attendance is not mandatory.

One Sunday per month at 4.30pm the meditative Solemn Evensong and Benediction is sung, preceded by an organ recital at 4.00pm.

For information, please contact the director of music, Andrew Adair.
