Music at Trinity

"Music is the correct response to
the presence 
​of God."
​         
     - Anonymous 

Picture
At Trinity we are wild about music.  We use music as a central part of our regular worship services. We also believe that music is worship.
​

​BEGINNINGS

Trinity's music program got its start because of the interest
and efforts of one of the church's early leaders,
​General John H. Oley.


​Oley was a remarkable man who also served as a vestryman and treasurer, taking the latter role so seriously that he frequently applied his own resources to the church budget.

AN OFTEN NON-TRADITIONAL
APPROACH
TO CHURCH MUSIC

Since Oley's time, Trinity has continued to maintain a strong music program. Today, under the direction of Music Director Mark A. Smith - who also serves as Organist and Choir Director - we are known for our creative and often non-traditional approach to church music.

Picture
In the spring we might stage a Broadway musical. Fall brings our free annual Halloween Concert, for which everyone - musicians and audience alike - comes in costume. 

​Big band music, Scottish bagpipes, Native American dance - you might find just about anything on Trinity's musical menu.

​CHORAL SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Since its beginnings in the 1940's, the Choral Scholar Program has enriched the worship of Trinity Church and provided a fertile learning and spiritual experience for generations of young musicians.

More than a few have gone on to become members ​of the Episcopal Church.

Scholarships are awarded to vocally proficient students who are registered in good academic standing at 
Marshall University.

The normal term of a scholarship is one academic year, generally September through May, although actual starting and ending dates
​can vary from year to year.

​It’s our hope that Choral Scholars will find their personal spiritual journeys enriched by their work at Trinity.

​But there are no expectations placed on them with respect ​to the doctrine or discipline of the Episcopal Church. 


If you're interested in this scholarship, or if you’d like more information, please contact Mark Smith at 304.529.6084.
