The
Senior Choir is largely composed of parish volunteers and brings
to our parish life an excellence and distinction appropriate to
our Anglican heritage of liturgical and musical quality. In
addition to contributing to our Sunday morning liturgies, the
choir is active in the Diocese and in concerts and Evensongs,
events intended to share the parish's musical gifts with the
larger community. We also support many community events, such as
the Thanksgiving and Martin Luther King Day services and the
Holocaust Remembrance Service.
Regular
rehearsals on Sunday from 11:30 - 11:45 am to 1:00 pm ensure
quality of ensemble and depth of fellowship, but one need not
commit to singing every Sunday to join the choir. Choir
members are very good about informing the Choirmaster of travel
plans, business commitments, or other needs requiring "time
off." In addition to this flexibility, we provide child
care for small children during rehearsals to enable one or both
parents to sing.
The
Senior Choir is always interested in new members. St.
Elizabeth's has many recent and wonderful additions to the
parish family. We need to have these new families represented in
all of our choirs. In addition, Senior Choir is becoming
an increasingly popular place for high school age singers to
serve St. Elizabeth's.
No
one should be deterred from joining by feeling they are not good
enough. We have an unbeatable combination of assistance from our
skilled and personable soloists, study tapes of much of the
music, and energetic rehearsals to bring the level of
accomplishment we enjoy within reach. Talk to any member and
they will confirm that we have fun, we work hard, and we are
rewarded in so many ways, musically, spiritually, and
personally.
If
you or your children enjoy singing, you have a place in one of
our choirs. Choir membership is an investment of time and talent
which enables you to give back to God part of a gift he has
given all of us - music. We need your voice, and you need
to come forward and offer it.
