Living Stones II: Building A Sound Future

The Compline Choir has offered a half-hour of calm contemplation in a divine acoustic for those gathered in person at Saint Mark’s Cathedral, tuning in to Classical KING, listening to the podcast, or viewing the cathedral’s livestream for nearly 70 years. Last year, the Choir’s prayers, music, and ministry touched some 16,831 people each week across the globe. The office of Compline is fundamental to the spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing for those who listen and sing.

Did you know that all the singers are volunteers? Yet, the Choirs have regular operating costs like the website, podcast, vestments, music, insurance, and modest compensation for the 1/4-time Director, currently funded through 2026.Beyond that, future Director compensation is dependent on increasing the endowment fund. Cathedral leadership and governing bodies of the Compline Choir and Hallock Institute are fully committed to this endeavor and invite you to join in the cathedral’s $9 million Living Stones II: Building A Sound Future capital campaign.
