One hears Your call in a wonderful composition of sounds. You open for us the environment of our future paradise in melodious singing and harmonious tones, in the height of musical color, in the brilliance of artistic creativity. All that is truly beautiful carries the soul to You in a mighty call, and forces it to sing rapturously: Alleluia!
- from the Akathist of Thanksgiving, Kontakion 7

The quality and the abundance of music at St. Barnabas are hallmarks of our congregational worship. Singing, strumming, ringing, playing - opportunities abound, whatever your age and wherever your interest and talents lie. You're always welcome to become a part of the ongoing musical tradition here.
