Musical Opportunities for AdultsChancel Choir 2006-2007 Chancel Choir Chancel Choir - The cornerstone of our music ministry, the Chancel Choir meets weekly on Wednesday evenings, 7:15-9:15 p.m., September through June, and provides inspiring musical leadership for our worship each week. In addition to regular services, the choir also sings several major works each year with orchestra. Peter DuBois conducts the Chancel Choir. The choir has released two compact disc recordings, Shout Joy, and Calm on the Listening Ear of Night (see the pictures and story of the making of this CD). The choir has toured Great Britain twice. In 2001, forty members of the choir served as choir-in-residence for one week at the Rochester Cathedral in Kent, and a second week singing an Evensong at Salisbury Cathedral, and presenting concerts in Sevenoaks and Coventry. During its two-week tour in 2005 fifty members of the choir served as choir-in-residence for one week at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and presented concerts at Ely Cathedral and St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. Information for Chancel Choir Members Third Church Ringers 2007-2008 Third Church Ringers Third Church Ringers - This group of enthusiastic adults is in their 12th year of ringing together. They meet on Thursday afternoons from 5:30-6:45 p.m., play periodically in worship, and also travel to area retirement and nursing homes to provide musical entertainment for residents. Membership is open to all. Chris Lenti provides leadership for this bell choir. Chapel Bells 2007-2008 Chapel Bells Chapel Bells - The Chapel Bells are quartet of handbell ringers, dedicated to learning ensemble ringing. In ensemble ringing each player covers many more bells than in a regular bell choir --- sometimes as many as 10 bells! The ringers also learn to share bells with each other. Lots of coordination and cooperation are required of ensemble ringers. All in all, ensemble ringing is highly challenging along with being great fun. The group rehearses on Monday mornings, and provides occasional music for the Chapel service. Chris Lenti directs this group. Celebration Ringers 2005-2006 Celebration Ringers Celebration Ringers - This is a handbell choir for beginning adults. It rehearses on Thursday mornings at 10:45 - 11:45am, and provides an opportunity for daytime involvement in the music program. Membership is open to all, though the ability to read music is a requirement. This dedicated group has performed at area nursing homes and in the Third Church Handbell Festivals. Chris Lenti directs this group.
