THE MAJESTY OF OUR MUSIC

Grace-St. Luke’s glorious music program is a treasured part of the worship experience for many parishioners and the Memphis region. The ;Grace-St. Luke's Choir provides vocal leadership during the Sunday 10:30 Eucharist -- supporting the congregation in traditional hymns and offering inspiring sacred pieces that range from classical chorales to spirituals. Sundays at 8 a.m. include hymns and ;music for organ and at 5 p.m., ;mostly guest musicians offer a diverse instrumental-only repertoire. Click the play button on the picture below to hear the Choir and view a slide show of Grace-St. Luke's music. ;

Two parish children's choirs also rehearse during the academic year and offer their song at occasional 10:30 services. And guest musicians -- from vocalists to string, brass, and wind ensembles -- frequently join the choir during the 10:30 service. In addition, highly anticipated performances, both religious and secular, take place throughout the year. The inspiring majesty of our music draws and feeds many within the parish and throughout the Memphis community.
