Adult
Choir
We are very proud of our
Adult Choir of approximately fifteen singers, volunteers and section
leaders. The Choir plays an important part in the life of the Church of
the Mediator, participating in over 40 services each year, singing
anthems in each service and leading the congregation in the singing of
hymns, Psalms and service music. Our choir library is extensive and
includes masterworks from several centuries of music literature.
The Choir welcomes new members in all voice
classifications who love to sing the great music of the church, enjoy
singing in parts with others and the challenge of learning new music. A
solo quality voice or professional singing background is not required;
but an attractive voice, the ability to read music on a basic level,
and the ability to learn new music reasonably quickly are highly
desirable.
Choir rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings
beginning at 7:15, September though May. If you are interested in
becoming a member of the choir, please contact me at cmiller@episcopalmediator.org
or at 610 434-0155.

Chancel Opera
We
continue our chancel opera/children's choir with rehearsals prior to
each performance. Rehearsals
will be set up based on when the most children can attend and will be
held sometimes at Susan Bingham’s house in West Allentown and
sometimes at the church.
We would love to have a large number of children sign up, so if any of
you has a friend, school mate or neighbor who might like to join, let
us know. We meet for about one hour each time, and if
there is enough interest, we will have the children take part not only
in the performing of the piece but also in the writing of it, as we
have done in the past.
Any parent who might be interested in helping with rehearsals (crowd
control, stage direction), costumes, publicity — let us know.
We will run rehearsals in chunks, so if you want to commit for
rehearsals for one performance, that is fine.
