"Make Joyful Noise Unto The Lord."


Bruton Parish's music ministry has a rich history that goes back more than 300 years.

If you are interested in participating in one of our choirs, please contact the directors. New singers and ringers are always welcome and are heartily invited to join us. 

Pelham Choir


The Pelham Choir, named after Bruton’s first organist, Peter Pelham, sings at the Sunday 9:15 a.m. Eucharist service.  The choir rehearses each Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. in the choir room at the Parish House (lower level).



Chancel Choir


The Chancel Choir sings at the 11:15 a.m. Sunday service, and the choir rehearses each Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the choir room at the Parish House (lower level).


The Chancel and Pelham choirs combine for Choral Evensongs, significant feast day worship services, and major musical performances such as the Christmas Concert and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Concert.


Both choirs are directed by Rebecca Davy, Music Director & Organist (757-645-3431 or email); Accompanist: Dr. JanEl Will, Organist
