A chapel over 250
years old with nearly flawless acoustics, five sacred choirs for all ages, a 10 rank organ
which perfectly fills the space . . . these are contributing characteristics of the music at
St. Peter's Church in the Great Valley. And all to the glory, and worship, of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Our Music Ministry is led by Organist and
Choirmaster Dr.
Martha Niepold Johnson, and Associate Organist / Choirmaster
Dr. Bruce W. Glenny.
We invite you to learn more about
the choirs of St. Peters, our
Bigelow 'Opus 30' organ,
within our ancient church building, and the new
"two manual mechanical action" organ, hand
built by Gober Organs, Inc., to be seen and heard in our
Community Outreach Hall.
We invite you to review the retrospective of the Musical Pilgrimage
in August 2006 when our choir sang in Canterbury Cathedral, England.
We also invite you to a sampling
of the musical excellence that rings week by week from high atop St. Peter's
Hill.
And finally, we invite you to visit us here at St. Peter's
Church in the Great Valley. You will be welcomed, and will find that our music is but
one expression of gratitude for our Faith.
