MUSIC MINISTRIES
One of the great joys of our worship service is the music. From stirring chords on the organ to the gentle melody of a flute; from old-time hymn singing to modern praise groups; from classical to contemporary music, sung by a great sounding choir; from piano/flute to organ/trumpet duets; from guitar to banjo.
If you or your child are interested in joining any of these groups (or forming your own!) please contact our Organist/Choir Director via the church office. You don't have to be an expert musician. Of course we'd like you to be able to "carry a tune." It also helps if you have some basic music reading. But we have singers with wonderful voices, some accomplished bell ringers, and a variety of instrumentalists who can help you along. Here's a bit more about some of the music opportunities:
You name it and you're likely to hear it (or perform it!) at one time or another at First Reformed.
CHANCEL CHOIR: Adults who enjoy singing and can carry a tune. The choir
is composed of soprano, alto, tenor and bass sections.
Rehearsals -- Wednesday evenings 7:30 pm and Sunday mornings 10:15 am. Summer hours may vary, often skipping Wednesdays in favor of a 10:00 am rehearsal on Sunday mornings. New members are always welcome.
BELL CHOIR: Young people and adults who enjoy making music. Rehearsals are weekly from September through May, usually Wednesdays at 6:30 pm. If you can play the bells or chimes, or if you read music and would like to learn how to play bells or chimes, please come join this choir.
