Choral Music
Choral music
at First Presbyterian has always played a strong
role in church life.
From the pioneering vision of Dr. Marie Boette, this church has both
developed and attracted musicians with strong vocal skills.
Currently, the choirs rehearse in their own rehearsal room. We own a
large number of major and minor choral works as well as more than 400
single titles. That's more than 36,000 pieces of music, rivaled only by
our handbell music, which numbers 17,000!
Sanctuary Choir
September through June
6:30-8 p.m. Sunday evenings and 10-10:25 a.m. Sunday mornings
The Sanctuary Choir, open to 9th graders through adult, usually
sings each Sunday at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. We also sing
for some special services throughout the year (like the "usual"
church holidays), and have presented community concerts, alone and
in conjunction with other musical groups in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
Whether you're a listener or a singer, you'll hear a wide range of
music from Sunday to Sunday. If you like contemporary, we sing it.
If you like the classics, we sing them, too. And let's not forget
the occasional spiritual or gospel piece.
First Presbyterian Singers
As Needed Throughout the Year
This small ensemble of singers presents challenging choral music,
usually but not always classical, for special events and worship
services throughout the year.
The group has sung for Christmas programs, recitals, and community
events.
