The anthems are well-integrated thematically within the Eucharist and are sung by St. Luke's professional Quartet. The Quartet is comprised of Carol Curtis McMullen, Alto, Lauren Cuccia, Soprano, Larry Hickernell, Jr., Tenor, and Francis Carroll McMullen, Baritone. The Quartet along with Elizabeth Rish, Organist, dedicate themselves to the discipline of historically informed performance practice of polyphonic music.
Recently, St. Luke's established a voluntary choir. This volunteers and quartet rehearses before the 10:00 a.m. Sung Eucharist once or twice a month. All interested parties are encouraged to share your voice in song. Rehearsal will begin at 8:45 a.m. in the Sanctuary for the 10:00 a.m. Sung Eucharist. Please come, and bring a friend! Please direct any questions or concerns to Larry Hickernell, Jr. at (570) 498-4350 or through email at larry.hickernell@pnc.com.
As St. Luke's congregation continues to grow, we hope to further develop our Music Ministry with the choir becoming a permanent fixture and the eventual return of a children's choir.
