The church has a strong musical tradition and has never been without a choir. From the 1920's onwards, many oratorios were performed with nationally reputed singers and organists under the direction of various dedicated and long serving musical directors. The choir is still around 20 strong and usually sings at morning services. We perform a wide variety of music, mainly at the Christmas and Easter festivals. For major works, other members of the congregation and singers from other choirs support us. The repertoire ranges from Messiah and the Faure Requiem, through traditional Easter works such as The Crucifixion and Olivet to Calvary, to modern works by American and English composers. The latest addition to the repertoire is a Christmas cantata; 'Christ is Born', composed by Jonathan Willcocks, (son of David Willcocks), a challenging, but beautiful and rewarding work.

We meet for rehearsals every Friday evening at 7.30 pm.

A Makin electronic organ was installed in 2005 as part of the refurbishment of the church. The 1908 Norman & Beard organ was removed in December 2004 and sold to the Church of St Rocco in Matera, Southern Italy.

In addition to the choirs there is a lively music group which provides accompaniment for many of the modern hymns and songs which form a regular part of our worship. They often participate during the morning service. They also usually lead the worship at the Circuit Praise evenings in different chapels around the circuit on the 20th of each month.

The church is very fortunate in having its own orchestra. Its members are all accomplished amateur musicians in their own right who get together to provide music at special services and at concerts.

It is their aim always to enjoy music making, for it is only through their enjoyment that we make the most of our talents in the service and to the glory of God.

The Young People's Choir has been going since 1974. It caters for children from 7 years and the music performed ranges from the sacred to the secular. Three concerts are held each year, one at Easter, one at Christmas and one in the summer, when musicals and some drama are performed. The choir also participates in special services held throughout the church calendar.

Rehearsals are held on Friday evenings from 6 to 7 pm and all children are welcome including those from outside the Church.

The Empingham Mission Band is a brass band that began in 1975 at Empingham Methodist Chapel, but now practices in Stamford. We meet weekly on Thursdays from 7 pm to 8 pm. The band plays a range of music and gives concerts around the area throughout the year as well as leading worship on various occasions. Young musicians are often "brought on" through playing in the band. Our 20 or so members range in age and ability, but with a common desire to enjoy worshipping God through our music.
