The Saint Mark’s Singers

The Saint Mark’s Singers are looking for passionate, motivated volunteer singers to share in the joy of singing. The newest ensemble at Saint Mark’s, the Singers perform beautiful music in both concert and liturgical settings. Sunday evening rehearsals leave members feeling inspired and motivated, and offer a supportive, friendly community. Anyone who can read music and carry a tune is welcome to join; interested singers will join us for rehearsal and meet with Thomas Gaynor, Assistant Organist & Choirmaster, for an informal audition. Please contact Thomas (tgaynor@saintmarksphiladelphia.org) if you’re interested in joining the Saint Mark’s Singers.

If you are looking for a high-caliber musical experience with a manageable time commitment, this is the ensemble for you! Our rehearsals and performances are limited to Sunday afternoons only, leaving the rest of the week free for your other activities. For the 2022-2023 season, the Singers will offer two concerts, join the Parish Choir to sing Choral Evensong in the fall, and sing a liturgy of Easter Lessons & Carols in the spring.

  • Rehearsals take place each Sunday from 5-6 p.m. September-May (with holiday breaks)

    • Bota con brio in the Garden from 6:00-6:30 p.m. following each rehearsal

  • Anyone who has basic music-reading skills and can carry a tune is encouraged to join us for a rehearsal and meet with Thomas about joining the Singers.

    • People of all backgrounds and any or no religious affiliation are welcome and encouraged to join.

  • Opportunities for leadership positions and solos within the choir are available to our volunteers.
