Seeking Young Singers to Join the Chorister Program!

Our Chorister program is open to boys and girls in 2nd through 12th grade. Choristers rehearse on Thursdays from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Chapel with Minister of Music, Dr. David Kelley and Miss Lolly Mixter, learning music theory and vocal skills, and sing on Sunday mornings with the Adult Choir. We have a fun dinner together once or twice a month following rehearsal. No previous musical experience is required to join the program but good reading skills are helpful. More information is available for download HERE and you may also contact Dr. Kelley.

Holy Comforter’s Organ

The current organ at Church of the Holy Comforter was installed in September 2012 by the Walker Technical Company of Zionsville, Pa., and features more than 80 stops playable from four manuals plus the pedal keyboard.

A fully digital instrument, its voices draw on Walker’s extensive library of electronic samples taken from pipe organs built by the famous Aeolian-Skinner company of Boston, which was active from 1932 to 1972.

As the current clergy and Vestry have recognized in discussions and planning sessions for the future direction of Holy Comforter, our great strength is meaningful worship; and, as our previous rector Bob Denig expressed in 1988 before purchase of our previous organ, “Music is at the heart of that worship; it plays an absolutely irreplaceable role…(and) so often says what cannot be said.”

Music surrounds and enfolds the liturgy and readies us all to be in the presence of the majesty and mystery of our relationship with God. The new Walker Technical Company organ greatly enhances our music program in several ways: it allows the authentic performance of most all of the classical and traditionally Anglican repertoire; it enhances all parishioners’ worship experience, and better leads hymn singing; and it enhances the literature sung by the choirs.

We envision our organ as the foundation of a variety of musical events in addition to use in worship, with concerts becoming the basis of various outreach and other fund-raising activities.
