Music Ensembles

Since Brown Memorial was founded in 1869, music has held a vital place in the worship life of the congregation, as well as the cultural life of Baltimore City.

The music program offers opportunities for adults, youth and children to participate in choral, handbell and instrumental ensembles, both during Sunday worship and during special programs and concerts throughout the year.  

Chancel Choir

Our Chancel Choir is comprised of talented volunteers and professional musicians who sing a diverse repertoire of great choral works and anthems during the 10:30 a.m. Sunday worship. Rehearsals are Thursdays, 7–8:45 p.m. in the sanctuary. Those interested in joining the Chancel Choir are invited to observe and sing during the rehearsals. Contact Michael Stefanek for more details.

Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir is a multi-generational ensemble that welcomes all regardless of handbell ringing experience. Training is provided. This ensemble rings about eight times annually and performs on a 3 ½ octave set of white chapel bells and a 2 octave set of Malmark Choir Chimes. Rehearsals are on Sundays after worship in the sanctuary. Contact Deborah Richardson for more details.

Soulful Revue

Soulful Revue performs a few times a year and sings a variety of music, such as gospel, spirituals and contemporary genres.
