Music Ministries

The St. Andrew Choir is now open to singers of any age. There is no audition but singers do need to be able to read words. This choir has service responsibilities for the 10:45 a.m. service from September through May.  The choir rehearses at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday during the choir season.  Contact our Organist-Choirmaster Robert Farr for further information 303.499.8502 rffarr@comcast.net.

The pipe organ in the choir loft was built by Art Schmeltekopf. Art was an atmospheric scientist retired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but he had a great love of music and particularly organ music. He began building the organ while he worked at NOAA in Boulder.

Otto Hoffman, an organ builder in Austin, Texas, was the consultant for the project and pipes and console were ordered from Germany in 1965.

Art began building the first wind chests in his basement and by fall much of the organ had been set up in his garage. With the help of many church members the organ was dedicated in 1967.

The organ has 2 manuals and pedals, 39 ranks and 31 stops. It is mechanical action.

The St. Andrew Celtic Ensemble is a group of singers and instrumentalists who lead the congregation in Celtic worship and prayer periodically throughout the year in the 10:30 a.m. worship service. For information, contact the Pastor, Stan Adamson, by calling the church office.
