Music Ministries

At St. Andrew's we pride ourselves in having a robust music ministry that is rooted in the Anglican tradition. We have been blessed to be a parish with countless musicians who continuously offer their gifts and talents to our shared worship. 

Music Ensembles

CHANCEL CHOIR
The Chancel Choir regularly supports worship services through the academic calendar year in addition to singing for special liturgies including Christmas Eve and Holy Week.  The choir also is involved in offering Sund Evening Prayer, Choral Evensong and Sung Compline.  Rehearsals are Thursdays from 7:30-9:00 p.m.

FESTIVAL RINGERS
St. Andrew’s Handbell Choir was formed in April of 2008 after a 3 octave set of Malmark bells was purchased with memorial funds.  The handbell choir rings in worship 7-8 times during the year. Rehearsals take place on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.

REGENT RECORDER ENSEMBLE
St. Andrew's is the venue for members and other Madison area recorder enthusiasts to rehearse.  We meet on 2nd, 4th and 5th Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. The first gathering for this program year is October 11, 2022.  The group may occasionally perform for an event, offer a concert  or participate in selected liturgies at St. Andrew's.

REGENT STRING ENSEMBLE
St. Andrew's is fortunate to have many in the parish who play violin, viola and cello. This group comes together approximately 3 times per year to rehearse hymns and string voluntaries for use in selected liturgies. The ensemble was started in Spring 2017 and continues to develop.

COMPLINE SCHOLA
This adult choir supports our services of Sung Evening Prayer and Sung Compline. Membership are singers from the Chancel Choir but parishioners who wish to join a group with less time committment are welcome.

The Pipe Organ
St. Andrew’s Taylor and Boody  (Opus 33) tracker action pipe organ of 21 ranks of pipes was installed in 2000. The organ represents the finest in craftsmanship and utilizes principals of construction that have been held in high regard in organ building for hundreds of years. The quality of the organ’s musical sound makes it one of the finest in Madison, Wisconsin, the state, and the nation.
