Known for Our Music!
The music program is the heart of Arlington Street! While the talent is unmistakable, what makes our music transcendent is the way our musicians embody the essence of this place and give so generously of themselves. Thank you for uplifting and upholding us, week after week, with music that opens our hearts and blesses our lives!
– Rev. Beth Robbins
Join the Choir
You are invited to experience the spiritual practice of communal singing!
By investing just a couple of hours each week, you can create something beautiful, make friends, and add more music to your life.
The Arlington Street Choir is the foundation of the music program, contributing an array of challenging, evocative pieces to our Sunday services. Musicians and non-musicians are always welcome!
The choir rehearses most Thursdays during the church year (September to mid-June) from 7:00 – 9:00 pm in the Clarke Room on the 2nd floor of the church. Learn more by visiting a rehearsal or reaching out to our Director of Music, Mark David Buckles.
