Music at
St. Elizabeth's
Music is central to life at St. Elizabeth's, reflecting our rich Anglican tradition and the belief—echoing St. Paul—that it speaks where words cannot. From congregational hymns and choral anthems to Evensong and community concerts, music expresses the heart of our parish identity.
Adult Choir
The Senior Choir at St. Elizabeth's is a welcoming, volunteer-based ensemble supported by a professional quartet. The choir sings at weekly Sunday liturgies, major seasonal services, and special events including our Lenten Requiem and December Advent Concert with orchestra. The choir rehearses on Sundays from September through mid-June, 11:45 a.m.–1:15 p.m. The choir embraces a joyful, hardworking spirit, guided by talented section leaders in a supportive, faith-rooted environment. Its diverse repertoire spans from medieval music to contemporary works, and new members—of all experience levels—are welcome year-round without needing to commit to every Sunday. We especially encourage young people to participate and experience the joy of timeless music within our close-knit, inclusive choir family.

Children's Choir
Singing helps children internalize the teachings of faith in a joyful, lasting way. At St. Elizabeth’s, our Children's Choir (Grades K–5) and Youth Choir (Grades 6 and up) offer the invaluable gifts of musical literacy and a deeper understanding of God's love. Meeting Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., they sing at monthly Family Services, Christmas Eve, Easter, and often join the Senior Choir for concert works with orchestra. Rehearsals focus on music reading, vocal technique, fun games, and building community.
The Galletly Scholars
Established in 2011, the Donald S. N. Galletly Scholarship supports dedicated young choristers at St. Elizabeth’s. Through the Royal School of Church Music’s Voice for Life program, children progress through vocal training and music theory levels, earning medals along the way. Choristers who demonstrate exceptional commitment may become Galletly Scholars. Scholars receive funding to attend advanced summer music programs such as Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) courses or programs at Westminster Choir College. Scholars serve as Head Choristers and, upon joining the Senior Choir in ninth grade, take on special leadership and performance roles.
