Music
Music at St. Anne's
Music at St. Anne’s brings people together. It supports and focuses the whole community as we join our voices to worship God.
St. Anne’s has a long history of presenting major choral works, annual musical theatre productions, and concerts. We also have a history of partners who share with us in presenting music to the wider community.
Music is central in our community life. Music at St. Anne's is led by our Music Director, Mervin Fick.
Music in Worship Services
There aren't many places in our culture anymore where people sing together. Worship is one of the best.
The hymns we sing each Sunday at St. Anne's express the themes of the weekly scripture readings and bring our voices together in an experience of community.
In addition to hymns where the choir enhances the singing of the whole community, the choir offers special music - anthems and motets in a wide range of styles - that make worship an experience of the "beauty of holiness."
St. Anne's Choir
CALL FOR SINGERS! St. Anne's Anglican Church, with its beautiful setting of Group of Seven art and Byzantine architecture, is one of the most attractive visual and auditory experiences to sing in. The semi-professional chancel choir, made up of approximately 25 voices, is quickly becoming one of the finest and most versatile choral ensembles in the city, as we perform mixed repertoire from Renaissance music to modern anthems.
You are welcome to audition for the St. Anne's Choir.
Rehearsals every Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Rehearsal 2 hours. Preparation includes the Sunday hymns, liturgical music, choral anthems, as well as special concert material. The Sunday worship service is generally 1.25 hours duration. There is a rehearsal immediately before the service at 9:45 a.m.
St. Anne's welcomes participation in Ensemble singing. Please contact the Music Director for more information:

St. Anne's Music & Drama Society
St. Anne’s Music & Drama Society presents one of the works of Gilbert & Sullivan each year for several performances in January/February.
MADS performances are professionally costumed, skillfully staged with a large chorus, and musically enhanced by an 18-piece orchestra. Performances take place in the St. Anne's Parish Hall in the fully-equipped theatre at 651 Dufferin Street. We regret that the theatre is not wheelchair accessible.
