Music
Excellent music at St. John’s has long been a focus of our worship. Beginning in the early 20th Century with a boys’ choir funded by Colonel Reynolds (paying a nickel per Sunday per boy) to our current ensemble of professional singers, we have enjoyed music by a variety of composers and performers.
In addition to choral music, brass and strings often join us for Easter, Christmas, and other significant celebrations. Some of our past performances have included:
The Organ
The tracker organ at St. John’s was built by J. W. Steere & Sons of Springfield, MA, in 1893. A balanced mechanical key-action, mechanical stop-action instrument, it remains virtually untouched and in very good condition. The organ has been recognized as an instrument of exceptional historic merit by the Organ Historical Society. Organ specs.
