Music and the Arts
Our choir supports congregational singing and sings an anthem during services between September and Trinity Sunday. Vocal and instrumental soloists complement the choir. Although the choir sings traditional Anglican repertoire, it is at home with music from all genres. The Choir rehearses Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM and all are welcome, regardless of musical background. We are excited to have signed a contract with Austin Organs to renovate our historic Opus 395 (1912) pipe organ. This will include a vintage console with a state of the art control system, mechanical renovation/rewiring, and tonal repairs, restoration, and revoicing. Work will be completed in 2027.
The Church, with its restored magnificent collection of stained glass windows and wonderful acoustics, provides a stunning venue for the musical, visual, and performing arts. We welcome the Rhode Island Civic Chorale and Orchestra for a performance of Messiah on December 5, 2026.

The Arts at All Saints' During the Pandemic
We developed a series of arts programs that took place after our Sunday morning service, and are presented by members of our parish family live via Zoom. The first featured Anne Tait, artist and Professor of Art at Roger Williams University and Monika Kraemer, Finance Chair and architect specializing in historic renovations.

The second was an interview with Wilmar Jennings about his artist parents Wilmer and Mary Jennings, beginning with their art education in the 1930s and work funded by the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project.
The third featured Charlotte Burgess, retired head of the costume department for the Rhode Island College theater program, describing how she makes quilts, including a quilt of ties donated by parishioners that was auctioned as part of our 175th anniversary celebration.
