Music at St. John’s-Grace

Music for Everyone

Music at St. John’s Grace is diverse. You will hear contemporary compositions, spiritual songs, and traditional hymns.

Much of our music is played on our Austin pipe organ. It was originally installed in 1927, and then rebuilt in five phases between 1982 and 1999. It is one of the largest Austin organs in Western New York, with three manuals and forty-two ranks.

Other music is accompanied using our fine Yamaha grand piano.

The St. John’s-Grace Choir, under Music Minister Brian Hilton, sings at the 11:00 Sunday service, with rehearsal before the service starting at 9:45.
