Music at Christ Church Glendale
Music is a part of the worship and life at Christ Church. The choirs play a significant role in our liturgy and worship, both by leading congregational singing and presenting anthems appropriate to the Scripture lessons appointed for the day.

Evensong Series
The Evensong Series at Christ Church Glendale was begun in 1986. We are pleased to present the beautiful service of Evensong in the Anglican tradition, with some innovations. Each service begins at 5:00 PM, and concludes with fellowship in the Olivia House parish hall.

Music Live With Lunch
Music Live with Lunch is a series of free public concerts on the second Wednesday of each month. All concerts begin at 12:05, and last about 25 minutes.

Music at Christ Church Glendale

Choirs: Four choirs regularly perform at both Sunday Services and special services. These choirs are:

Adult Choir – open to all singers age 14 and above. The Adult Choir sings regularly at the 11:00 a.m. Sunday Service during the year.

Schola Cantorum – open to all children ages 7-14. The Schola Cantorum sings regularly at the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Service during the year. Through regular rehearsal, these young choristers not only build a repertoire of anthems to be used during the Church year, but they also learn to use the Hymnal and the Prayer Book, and gain a lifelong appreciation for music.

Chorus Angelorum – open to young women ages 14-21. The Chorus Angelorum sings about once a month at either the 9:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. Sunday Service.

The English Handbell Choir - open to musicians age 14 and above. The English Handbell Choir performs about once a month at either the 9:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. Sunday Service.

Special Services: Other opportunities to hear our choirs contribute to the worship and ministry of CCG include Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and the Easter Vigil (Saturday evening before Easter Sunday).
