2008 Group


The St. Luke's Contemporary Choir of Barrington, RI began as a traditional "folk group" in the fall of 1988. Commissioned to provide music for an overflow Mass in the school gymnasium (which frequently served more than four hundred people) the original group had two guitars, three vocalists, and only enough hymnals for about 1/3 of the congregation! Currently there are twelve members: guitar, bass, drums, percussion, organ, and vocals comprise a typical Sunday lineup. After an expansion of the church building was completed in 2000, the group moved into the choir loft and took over the 11:30 Mass.
It is this choir's goal to provide traditional music with up-to-date arrangements for Catholic services. The music of David Haas, Marty Haugen and Tom Kendzia is interwoven with more traditional Organ/Choir standards and all is played in a joyful style that has similarity to Christian Worship groups. This bringing-together of styles can be heard on their two CD releases, in addition to their ongoing weekly Mass commitment.
