As visitors soon discover, music is integral to our worship services at Theodore Parker Church, in terms of both participation and appreciation. Services typically include a prelude, postlude, offertory, and two or more hymns. The Theodore Parker Singers perform once or twice a month. Masks are required for all singing.

We are fortunate to have on staff two excellent professional musicians: Yukiko Takagi, our longtime pianist, and Michael Johnson, our music director. Yukiko, a featured performer with the Callithumpian Consort, performs during most services. Read an interview with her HERE. Michael, a professor at Berklee College of Music, directs the choir, often writing and/or arranging their music.

The choir welcomes new voices any time. Rehearsals are on Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

Many members of our congregation are also talented musicians. Our fabulous House Band of winds and strings plays during services a few times a year, including at our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. Come play with us!
