Ensembles

At the heart of worship at First Church is our Adult Choir, which sings at the regular 10am worship services, most weeks through the program year.  They lead us in congregational hymns and specialize in presenting traditional/classical anthems of the sacred choral music repertory.  The Adult Choir is open to all Gr.9 through adult and new members are welcome at any time.  During the pandemic, we have a modified schedule to accomodate the creation of Virtual Music Projects [ more ]

The Meetinghouse Chorale is an intergenerational community choir that specializes in performing large-scale sacred and secular choral music, sometimes accompanied by an orchestra. The Chorale will perform a concert of American music on March 22, 2020.  Rehearsals will begin in the fall and go through the spring.  It is open to all ages and abilities Grades 9 and up. [ more ]
