Saint Andrew's has a tremendously active music and choir programme which is supported by generous and talented people.

The Sanctuary Choir
The choir contributes substantially to most morning worship services and leads the Congregation in singing. The choir's function is to contribute to worship sensitively while pursuing excellence in a very wide range of music.   Its most important role is in leading the musical praise of God by singing with and supporting the congregation.  

Sinfonia of Saint Andrew's
This orchestra regularly presents concerts of classical music both at Saint Andrew's and at other venues throughout Brisbane partnering other groups such as the Queensland Choir, Brisbane Chorale, the University Music Society and the Ipswich Cambrian Choir. The orchestra's policy is to encourage young musicians to perform alongside experienced professional players and to represent the church as part of its Ministry. Last year it produced a successful CD of Christmas Music with the Ipswich Cambrian Choir. For any enquiries regarding future bookings for the Orchestra or its Ensembles, please contact Graham Evans, General Manager (07) 3371 0420.

Brisbane Concert Choir at Saint Andrew's
Founded in 1996, this community choir presents choral concerts, sometimes acapella and sometimes performs with the Sinfonia.
The performances of the Sinfonia and Choirs are well publicised through the St Andrew's Congregation and in the public press.

Con Spirito Lunchtime Concerts
The Con Spirito series of Friday lunchtime concerts has been running for a number of years and are regarded by St Andrew’s as part of its outreach to the city of Brisbane through the Arts. The series is scheduled for the fourth Friday of each month from March to October and are designed to provide mainly tertiary level music students with a performing opportunity different from that offered by their institution. Students from the Queensland Conservatorium (QCGU) and the University of Queensland’s School of Music are regular performers in this series. A wide range of music is presented and performers include singers, string players, wind players (both individual and ensemble), pianists and organists. In recent series, groups have included a clarinet trio, saxophone quartet, string orchestra, brass ensemble and wind quintet. The concerts are free of charge. Please contact Barbara Tate (07) 3217 3529 for further details.
