Music at St. Paul's Church

The St. Paul's Choristers trace their distinguished history back to the time of the parish's founding in 1804. St. Paul's Church had the first vested choir in the City of Troy, and has maintained a long tradition of fine music both for its worship services and for special musical events, including the popular Tuesday at Noon Concerts.

Get Involved

The choir is open to men and women of all ages upon audition with the Choirmaster. The St. Paul's Choristers rehearse on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 7:00 PM and sing on Sundays at 10:00 AM as well as for special musical events throughout the year. These include Choral Evensong on several Sunday afternoons, as announced, our annual spring concert, occasional joint programs with other area choruses and special music for festival celebrations including Christmas Eve and Easter.

Austin Organ

Picture
In 1818, it was noted that St. Paul's had the only organ in Troy, and the church had the first, and longest-lived vested choir of men and boys in the city.
Today's main organ in the chancel was installed in 1921 by the Austin Organ Company of Hartford, Connecticut (4 manuals and pedal, 54 ranks) as a memorial to his mother by C.W. Tillinghast Barker.
