Our Choirs
Music has been central to the worship life of this parish from the early days of its history. For over a century the parish has carefully fostered the resources that will promote the fullest expression of Anglican worship. As a reflection of the English choral tradition, the Grace Church Choir is made up of singers of all ages, with adults, teens and younger choristers forming a single choir. The weekly Sung Eucharist uses music of all periods, from plainchant to medieval and Renaissance compositions, works of the English choral tradition, as well as those of contemporary composers. Choral Evensong, a preeminent feature of Anglican worship, is offered several times during the year, and each Advent season begins with a Service of Lessons and Carols.
The choir sings at the Sunday Eucharist from September through mid-June. The music program also includes a Handbell Choir made up of ringers of all ages. The choirs are affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music.
Our Instruments
Grace Church has had several notable organs in its long history. The current instrument was installed in 1983 by the Holtkamp Organ Company of Cleveland. It consists of three manuals and pedals that control 63 ranks of pipes. The church also has thirteen tower bells which are controlled by an automatic bell ringer, a four-octave set of Malmark handbells, as well as three octaves of Schulmerich hand chimes. Grand pianos include a Yamaha, as well as a Kohler and Campbell.
