Music has always been an integral part of our worship, even more so since the first organ was introduced at Old Pine in the mid nineteenth century. Old Pine's most famous music director was Louis Redner, who is the composer of the Christmas carol, "O Little Town of Bethlehem." During the summer of 1998 an historic J. W. Steere Pipe Organ was installed. We have been truly blessed to have this wonderful instrument to lead  congregational song and accompany the choir.

Tom Faracco, Old Pine's Director of Music, joined the staff of Old Pine in May 2001. Tom brings more than 40 years of experience in the field of church music. He has served as Director of Music in a wide variety of churches. Born in New York City, Tom attended Westminster Choir College and Indiana University, holding degrees in church music, organ and voice performance. Since 1983, he has been on the voice faculty at Westminster and was chair of the Voice Department for 6 years.

The choir of Old Pine leads the music in worship from September through May and rehearses on Sunday morning before the service. The ensemble consists of approximately twenty gifted volunteers and professional section leaders. The choir sings a wide variety of repertoire, ranging from Bach Cantatas to gospel music. On occasion, professional instrumentalists join forces with the choir which greatly enhances our worship services.  If you are interested in singing with the choir, or play an instrument, please see Tom at coffee hour or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
