The choral program at St. Mary Anne’s has had much success and membership has grown considerably. Music is representative of all styles and genres. Voices are needed for every section of the Adult Choir—soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. If you like to sing and can carry a tune but really aren’t sure of your voice part, talk to our Music Director and he will be happy to place you. Choir rehearses from 7:00 until 8:30 on Thursday nights, and warms up on Sunday mornings at 9:50 for 20 minutes before singing at the 10:30 service.
