“Music brings a warm glow to my vision, thawing mind and muscle from their endless wintering.”

~Haruki Murakami

Eliot Choirs

Music plays an important part in the life of Eliot Chapel.  Relevant collaboration makes us draw from a wide spectrum of musical styles, from classical to contemporary. Our choir members volunteer to provide music for worship because it’s a fulfilling and meaningful way to serve the congregation, as well as to connect with others who like to sing.

We have a number of groups, listed below, who sing in services.
