Christ Church has a rich tradition of excellent music, enhancing the experience of worship for all who are here. Our diverse program offers abundant opportunities to exercise their talent for those who are musically inclined. There are five choirs for singers and bell ringers as well as opportunities for instrumentalists to play during our worship services.  Evensong and Lessons and Carols services are held at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoons, and several special music concerts are planned for 2019-20.  Click for our new brochure for the eighth season (2019-20) of Music at Christ Church Andover.  For further information or to become involved in the Music Ministry at Christ Church, please contact Barbara Bruns, Minister of Music at 978-475-0529, Ext. 20.
