The Transfiguration Choir
Wednesday Rehearsals | 7:00pm-9:00pm I Performance Hall
Directed by Joel Martinson
This choir of adults of all ages provides music for the two principal Sunday services, as well as for Holy Day liturgies. It is a regular participant of our Transfigured Nights Series, singing Choral Evensong services as well as special services and concerts in the course of the year. The choir normally divides into two to sing at either the 9:00am or 11:15am service on Sunday. Because of the challenging repertoire we undertake, it is very important, in addition to having a good voice for choral singing, to be able to read music and have previous musical experience. An informal audition is required in order to place choristers in sections and to give advice for work on individual vocal issues.

Instumentalists
We'd love to know if you have experience playing musical instruments, such as strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, piano, harpsichord and organ, and are interested in sharing your gifts. Use the "Contact our Music Programs" button to let us know of your interest.
Music Volunteers
Keeping everything organized for our choirs and ensembles requires a great deal of behind-the-scenes assistance and organizational help. Most of these activities do not require any musical training and include checking-in new musical scores, music library work, office filing, folder organization, computer help, etc. Contact Joel Martinson using the "Contact our Music Programs" button if you'd like to volunteer.
