Christ Church has a long history of music making. The parish acquired its first pipe organ in 1788 and the first choir was formed in the late 1820s. Professional musicians have served the parish since the early nineteenth century.

In 2001, Christ Church celebrated the arrival of a new mechanical action pipe organ built by Richards, Fowkes and Company of Ooltewah, Tennessee, the firm’s opus 12. The organ has been widely acclaimed as one of the finest new handcrafted pipe organs in the northeast. A compact disc recording of the new organ by acclaimed Dutch organist Aart Bergwerff titled Bach in the New World is available from Raven Records (OAR-760).
