CHANCEL CHOIR  â€‹

​

Music Director Dr. Jeffrey Larkin, leads the choir in songs that range from contemporary to classics by Handel, Beethoven and earlier. The Choir sings each Sunday morning from September through May, then takes summer off to recharge.

 

The Advent-Christmas season and Passion - Easter season is particularly exciting, as the Choir presents an annual Christmas Cantata and Passion Cantata,, accompanied by a small ensemble.
