The Sanctuary Choir of Asylum Hill Congregational Church is comprised of 60 singer/musicians who provide musical leadership for Sunday worship services and community events. With 8 professional section leaders and some of the community’s best soloists and instrumentalists, the AHCC Music Ministry is capable of extraordinary musical diversity and quality. The choir has presented such major works as the Brahms Requiem, Fauré Requiem, Mozart’s Requiem and the Solemn Vespers, Vivaldi Gloria, J.S. Bach Magnificat, a “Gospel” Christmas, and the Haydn Mass in Time of War. The Choir has also partnered with other area churches to present major works such as Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna with Immanuel Congregational Church Choir and the Duruflé Requiem with St. Joseph's Cathedral Choir, CONCORA and the New Haven Symphony. The AHCC Sanctuary Choir also leads the annual Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in January 2017. This musical and dramatic celebration of Epiphany attracts more than 4500 people to five sold-out performances each January. Additionally, the choir has also been honored to sing for special events and observances of the State Senate and House of Representatives at the Capitol Building, and since 2013 has been a regular performer with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra’s Talcott Mountain Music Festival.
