The Ensembles of the Parish

The Choir of St. David’s

Praised by the Baltimore Sun for their “assured, nuanced singing” and “admirable variety and depth of repertoire,” The Choir of St. David’s is a chamber choir in the Anglican tradition, offering music at liturgies, concerts, choral services, and outreach events throughout the program year. The choir performs music from throughout the Western canon, from Renaissance motets to newly-composed works. Since 2014 they have offered over forty world and US premieres, including the world premieres of fifteen compositions written specifically for the ensemble as part St. David’s Composer-in-Residence program. You can regularly hear their performances on WBJC 91.5, Maryland’s Classical Radio Station.
