Rutter Requiem - November 3 at 4 p.m.
St. Michael’s choir will offer a special performance of John Rutter’s beloved Requiem on Sunday, November 3 at 4 p.m., the Sunday after All Saints’ Day, in memory of all those whom we love but see no longer, and in special loving memory of Wade Douglas Wagoner (brother of parishioner Vaughn Wagoner). This beautiful music will be accompanied by flute, oboe, cello, harp, timpani, glockenspiel and organ. Join us as we remember our loved ones who have gone before while listening to the sublime music of Rutter’s Requiem. The concert will be followed by a reception.

Carolina Treble Festival - February 2025
St. Michael’s older boy and girl choristers will participate in the annual Carolina Treble Festival, which will be held February 22-23 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Southern Pines. The festival is extraordinarily fun, and the singing at the closing Eucharist and Choral Evensong is glorious! Choristers who plan to participate in the festival should be registered for this fall’s new choir season.
Our Choirs
Boys, girls, teens and adults of all ages sing in St. Michael's choirs, leading the music of our traditional liturgies throughout the year. Some singers have been part of our choir program for many years, while others are just beginning their training. All are rewarded by the creative process of singing superb sacred music, which will bring them joy for the rest of their lives.
St. Michael's music program upholds the high standards of the Royal School of Church Music, believing that young choristers can learn to sing and read music with expertise as well as any adult. Our choirs are conducted by skilled musicians, with the goal of training all singers to offer their very best musical gifts to God.
To learn more about any of our choirs, please contact our Organist/Choirmaster.
“I will sing with the spirit, and with the understanding also.”
