Music at St. Mark's

St. Mark's strives to maintain a clearly Anglican identity in its service music.  The choir performs music at a high standard, and most of the selections come from the traditional Anglican or Catholic "classical" repertoire.

Concerts at St. Mark's 

St. Mark's plays host to several concerts each year.  The Music Guild is responsible for financial and logistical support for these concerts.  If you or your group would like to perform at St. Mark's, please contact James Wallace.

St. Mark's Canterbury Choir

The Canterbury Choir is the primary adult choir at St. Mark’s. Numbering about 16 members, with four professional section leaders, The Canterbury Choir sings a large repertoire of anthems and services, primarily from the English Cathedral repertoire. The Canterbury Choir is particularly well known for its elegant singing of Anglican Chant.

The Choir is always looking for new members. Please contact Choirmaster James Wallace if you are interested.

St. Mark's Organ

St. Mark's is delighted to have purchased E.M. Skinner Opus #774, built in 1929.  The Skinner organ will be restored and installed in St. Mark's in 2008. 

E.M. Skinner Op. #774 Specification

The current organ in St. Mark’s was built by the Schlicker Company of Buffalo, New York, in 1973 with a Moller console from 1963. The organ was later revoiced and a few additions were made by Manuel Rosales. It contains three manuals and 43 ranks.
