The Sanctuary Choir welcomes adults and high school youth who love to sing.  Membership presently consists of approximately 25 singers, and we are actively looking to increase the size of the choir.  No formal audition is required to become part of this wonderful group—just a love of singing.  The Sanctuary Choir provides choral music for Sunday services from September through mid-June.  Each spring the Sanctuary choir presents a major choral work with full orchestra.  Recent presentations include Fauré Requiem, Bach Magnificat, Mozart Requiem, Vivaldi Gloria, Schubert Mass in G, Haydn Lord Nelson Mass and Rutter Gloria.  Click here for the Choir anthem schedule

Youth Music Program

Through the joy of music, children develop their voices, their motor skills and their friendships, as they share in the love and worship of God.

Carol Choir

The Carol Choir is for children in Kindergarten through grade 2.  During rehearsals participants will experience singing, moving and playing instruments.  The children will also prepare for their participation in Sunday worship services.  The Carol Choir will perform approximately 6 times a year.

Trebel Choir

South Church Treble Choir is for students in grades 3 – 8.  There is no formal audition.  Any student who enjoys singing is welcome.  The Treble Choir concentrates on vocal development, choral sound, reading, part singing, as well as instrument playing. The choir will work on challenging repertoire from a variety of styles, periods, and languages.  Treble Choir will participate in Sunday worship approximately once a month.

Instruments, Instrumentalists and Dancers 

The Sanctuary organ is a 3-manual tracker pipe organ built by George Bozeman. Jr. and Co.    A Steinway grand piano also graces the sanctuary. Instrumentalists from the congregation are warmly encouraged to share their musical gifts in regular services and as part of any special musical works which take place. We are privileged to have string, wind, and brass players among us, as well as pianists, organists, and vocal soloists. Percussionists, classical and contemporary guitar players, and liturgical dancers further enhance the rich array of musical and artistic offerings at South Church.

  PERFORMING ARTS

SOUTH CHURCH MUSICAL

The Performing Arts Group of South Church puts on a fully staged musical yearly.  Past performances have included The wizard of Oz, Children of Eden, Honk, The Music Man and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat  among others.  All who wish to participate are included, with the requirement of regular attendance at rehearsals.  Casts include all ages and all musical abilities. Children 10 and under are required to have a parent on stage with them.  This major project requires actors, singers, dancers, musicians, carpenters, sewers, painters, and lots of organizational people—as many as 150 altogether.  All participants must attend auditions to fill out paperwork so that assignments to choruses and dance groups are based upon numbers, age, size, etc.  Individual tryouts are held for featured parts and dance groups The show is not yet decided and will be announced in late fall. Watch the 5 minutes from south Church for information.  Rehearsals begin in early January and the musical will be performed on March 7th, 8th and 9th, 2008.
