Our Mission

The Choral Consortium consists of choirs and music ministers in small to mid-size Episcopal parishes and missions.
Our goals are:

- to give musicians of smaller parishes and missions the opportunity to perform larger-scale sacred works while representing their parishes and missions;

- to engage in musical worship in addition to our Eucharist and Evensong schedules;

- to allow Episcopalian musicians to build community and enjoy fellowship; and

- to contribute to the fine arts and strengthen ties in our community.

Becoming a Member

If you are an Episcopalian, love being a part of musical worship, and want an artistic challenge, simply contact one of us (see contact info below).
