A message from Ruaraidh Sutherland, New Director of Music Ministry:
Welcome to St John’s of Lattingtown and to our music ministry. St John’s offers our music in service to the glory of God, and this hugely important ministry is at the heart of our parish. We celebrate our distinctive Anglican musical traditions, through which many people find the deepest expression of their faith.
St John’s Parish Choir
The St. John's Parish Choir is open to all from high school age and older and draws singers from our parish and the surrounding area. Choral Scholarships (see below) are awarded to talented vocal students attending local area high schools and colleges. The choir is anchored by our section leaders and sings a wide range of music from the treasury of Anglican repertoire regularly at the Sunday services of Eucharist and Evensong. Concerts and other special events are offered during the year.
For further information about Choral Scholarships or joining the choir, please contact Ruaraidh F. Sutherland, Organist and Director of the Music Ministry- music@stjlat.org

Junior Choral Scholars
Under the banner of Junior Choral Scholars, St John’s is excited to announce the formation of two new choirs coming September 2023, one for Boys’ (grades 3 to 8) and Girls (grade 3 to 12). The boys and girls of the Junior Choral Scholars will rehearse weekly and sing monthly on Sundays. Children who participate will have the opportunity to learn musical skills, make lifelong friends, and develop crucial life skills. The syllabus will be based on the Royal School of Church Music’s Voice for Life curriculum. https://www.rscmamerica.org/aboutvfl/
