Music 2022
Music plays an important role in our life. Each Sunday we sing uplifting hymns accompanied by the organ, and include inspiring choral or instrumental music in the service, along with an organ prelude and postlude.
Our choral group “Pilgrim Singers” is led by Adele Nisbet, former conductor of the Sanctuary Choir at St Andrew’s Uniting Church and former Head of Vocal Studies at the Queensland Conservatorium.
Organ music is presented by Dr Steven Nisbet OAM - Organist for Pilgrim People Brisbane
Former Organist & Director of Music, St Andrew’s Uniting Church, Brisbane
Past-President, Organ Society of Queensland
Former Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education, Griffith University
