Music at Saint Ann's
Each member of the choir submitted a recording of themselves singing their part remotely. Our Director of Music, Hector Migliacci, edited together the voices to come up with a unified choir sound! We are pleased the choir was able to make a joyful noise - from a distance!
Drawing on centuries of Anglican and Episcopal musical traditions, along with over a thousand years of sacred music from around the globe, we have programs that enable singers and instrumentalists of all abilities to contribute to the worship and liturgy of the Episcopal Church in Lyme/Old Lyme.
There are many ways to participate in the musical life of the Parish.
​
​
Parish Choir
This is the most visible and regular way to participate. Membership is open to anyone; parish membership is not a requirement. Section leaders, guest vocalists, and musicians come from within Lyme/Old Lyme and from as far as Yale University, New York City, and Maine.
The choir sings each Sunday at the 10:30am service. They rehearse on Thursday evenings at 8:30pm and on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:15am.
The Choir also offers Choral Evensong four times a year. Read more about Evensong here. Listen to a few minutes of our last Evensong service:

Potential members should have prior singing experience, and the ability to read music is always helpful. Contact our Director of Music at music@saintannsoldlyme.org for more information.

Summer Musicians
During the summer, our parish choir is on holiday. We enlist the aid of soloists to enhance our worship from June through August. Please contact our Director of Music at music@saintannsoldlyme.org if you're interested in supporting this ministry.
