Approximately 150 adults participate in the Sanctuary Choir at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church. Choir is not only a place where worship and music-making happen, but is a space for friendship and welcome. The Sanctuary Choir leads the traditional worship service each Sunday, singing in a variety of styles. Often accompanied by instrumentalists and orchestra, the Sanctuary Choir performs in several special concerts throughout the year including Carolfest in December and the highly anticipated Americana Concert in May.

Preston Hollow regularly commissions anthems and major works to be written for the Sanctuary Choir. This process allows our choir to sing premiere performances of music by such composers as John Rutter, Ryan Murphy, Bob Chilcott, Hal Hopson, Paul Leddington Wright, Ola Gjeilo, Jeffrey Howard, Ray Andrews, and Emmy Award winning composers Gary Fry and Anthony Di Lorenzo.

These commissions are a direct collaboration between Preston Hollow and some of the world’s finest composers of church music. Once the premier is given in our Sanctuary, the compositions are often then offered through publication for everyone’s use as significant, long-lasting contributions to churches’ music ministries around the world.

Previous guest conductors of the choir have included John Rutter, Craig Jessop, Bob Chilcott, Sir David Willcocks, Mack Wilberg, Paul Leddington Wright, Gary Fry, Eleanor Daley and Andrew Carter.
