If you play a musical instrument and are looking for a relaxed and fun group to play with, the St. Thomas Orchestra is for you . All skill levels are welcome. Coaching on your instrument to help bring back your skills is available. Much of our music is arranged for the orchestra and can be set to different levels.

Many members of the Orchestra got back into playing their instruments through this group. Do you have an instrument in your closet and haven’t played for many years? Why not take it out and come join us for practices on Monday evenings! We provide an anthem to be used during Church services about once a month from Sept to May.
