Music is an important
and integral part of life and worship at St Mary’s. Our long
musical tradition was rekindled in 1994 with the appointment
of internationally acclaimed organist Christopher
Wrench as Director of Music/Organist and Emily Cox
as Choir Director.
St Mary’s Music might be
described as traditional, though not rigidly so. Worship at St
Mary’s is cradled in a rich blend of organ, choral, solo and
congregational music from many styles and eras including music
by local composers. Music is provided every Sunday at the 9.00
Eucharist by the Full Choir, reduced choir or cantors and
organist. Click here for

In addition to special
Choral Liturgies which are presented on Advent Sunday and Palm
Sunday, St Mary’s offers a vibrant concert programme to the wider community
throughout the year.
St Mary’s ORGAN UPDATE: As the Lincoln organ in its current condition and 1961 configuration is inadequate for St Mary’s musical needs, a 3-manual Allen digital organ provided by All Organs Australia has been installed until the organ rejuvenation project can be realised. We acknowledge the generosity of an anonymous donor who has enabled the hire of this instrument for 2007.
A special feature or our liturgical music programme in 2007 is the performance of the complete organ works of Dieterich Buxtehude in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the composer’s death.
