Parish Choir

 

The Parish choir sings at the 11:00 am service September through

May. In addition to Sunday morning, the Parish Choir also offers

Choral Evensong, Lessons & Carols, and other Holy Day liturgies

throughout the church year, including Requiem and Passiontide

performances. Although there is a focus on tradition Anglican

repertoire, many of the choral anthems are drawn from diverse

sources including chant, Renaissance motets, spirituals, and 20th

and 21st century music. Music reading ability is not essential but

helpful and recommended. Weekly commitment is not required

but strongly encouraged for this group. New members are

always welcome, including High School students! 

 

Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 pm in the music room.  Parish Choir is currently on summer break and will return Sunday, September 7.

The Joyful Voices choir sings at the 8:30 service September through May. Our music is mostly from the contemporary music repertoire with composers such as Marty Haugen. Rehearsals are Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:00 pm in the Music Room. New choir members are welcome at any time during the year. Reading music is helpful but not necessary for this group. Joyful Voices is currently on summer break and will return Sunday, September 7.

Choristers

 

Our new Choristers group is a wonderful choral program geared toward elementary school-age children

that meets September through May. In addition to learning songs, kids practice basic singing technique,

build music reading abilities, and develop ear-training skills that expand their overall knowledge and love

and appreciation of music. 

 

Rehearsals are Tuesday afternoons from 4:00 to 4:30 pm in the Music Room. All elementary

school-age kids are welcome, even if they do not attend Christ Church!

Summer Pop-Up Choir

 

Our Summer Pop-Up Choir is the perfect antidote to the lull of choral singing when the "season" is out

of session. Pop-up choir sings music that is fun and easy to learn for select Sundays at the late service in

the summer (June - August). Choral anthem examples include Marty Haugen's Let My Prayer Rise Up and the popular arrangement of Here I Am, Lord by Jack Schrader. All anthems are sung with the piano. Reading music is not necessary and one need not be a regular member of any choirs to join in for Pop-Up on any of the Sundays when they are singing! 

 

Rehearsals are select Sunday mornings from 9:15 - 9:45 am in the Nave. Check out our publications such as Messenger, The Crown and our MidWeek Messenger email for more information and dates in late spring and summer!
