Chancel Choir -- Adults
Rehearsals Thursday evenings 7:30 - 9:30 PM
The Chancel Choir is comprised of adults who provide music for each Sunday morning service and other special worship services throughout the year. In addition to this, the Chancel Choir presents two major works a year with instrumental ensembles; one at Christmas and one in the spring. Some of the major works they have performed have included the “Requiems” of Mozart, Rutter, and Durufle, the Bach “Magnificat” and the Stravinsky “Symphony of Psalms”. The April 23, 2005 Chancel Choir performance of the Mozart “Requiem” on the Abendmusik concert series garnered the following review from the Classical New Jersey Society: Robert Butts wrote "the performance and work evoked one word: 'Glorious'... the chorus was undoubtedly the star..." The Chancel Choir is under the direction of June Van Thoen, Director of Music Ministries. Our organist is Jackson Borges.
