Music Groups

All Saints is a wonderfully musical parish: we have an abundance of musical talent, and our round church is a fabulous space for musical performances by the All Saints' choir as well as vocal and instrumental musical groups, listed below, who regularly perform in our space.  (The music groups are not a part of the church, but perform at All Saints.)

Group Description More
Stanford Talisman We are a group of singers dedicated to the sharing of stories through music. Talisman was created to explore and perform substantive, cultural music. This has become our mantra as we strive to give voice to the vast collection of human stories told through rich and vibrant song. We appreciate the great challenge in musically expressing the genuine roots of the songs we sing, but we are committed to bringing these songs to life as best our abilities allow. More
Archetti Baroque Strings This dynamic eight-member group was founded by violinist Carla Moore and gambist/violone player John Dornenburg to perform the rich concerto and ensemble repertory of the Baroque era, without a conductor. Performances are on instruments of the period.  The sound of this group in the All Saints church space is gorgeous. More
