Worship Through Music at Calder Baptist Church
|
Chancel Choir
This choir provides leadership for congregational song and choral selections for Sunday and holiday worship services. Using both piano and pipe organ accompaniment, the choir presents a variety of choral works covering the spectrum of classical to contemporary music. Membership is open to post-high school age singers and beyond. The choir rehearses each Wednesday evening 6:20 - 7:20 pm and is customarily rehearsing selections 3 to 5 weeks in advance of presentation, making it easy for new voices to be integrated into the ensemble. Child care is provided. We offer choral scholarships to Lamar University students, welcoming the addition of their voices to the choir. Scholarship students are also invited to serve as hymn and warm-up rehearsal leaders. For more information about our scholarship program, please contact our Director of Music Ministry, Chris Richter.
