About Music at St. Alban's

Music at St. Alban's, our annual series of concerts and festival services, was begun in the fall of 1969 by James Vail when he was appointed organist and choirmaster of St. Alban's. Since then we have performed some 125 major choral works, many of them several times. These works reflect the highest artistic quality, great diversity in style from all historical periods, and music created for the glory of God and the edification and inspiration of performers and listeners alike.

These programs have been made possible through the remarkable dedication, talent and enthusiasm of the members of St. Alban's Choir (all volunteers except for the four professional soloists), the contribution of many gifted vocal and instrumental soloists, orchestral players, guest conductors and guest choirs, the strong support of our clergy and vestry, and the generous financial support of contributors to our Concert Fund.
