Our Choirs

Our adult Choir sings each Sunday at the 10 AM Service from September through early June, and at other services and special occasions throughout the church year; we rehearse each Wednesday evening from 7:30–9:15. Choristers, currently on hiatus, is our youth treble choir, open to all children through grade 8; we meet weekly and sing on selected Sundays. 

Music Events

Our Concertato recital series, held on selected Saturday evenings Fall through Spring, features exciting vocal and instrumental performers. In addition, we  present, and host, a wide range of musical events throughout the year.

Organ Music

The organ is central to our  worship experience. Each week during our 10 AM Sunday Service the organ leads congregational singing, accompanies the weekly choir anthem, and is featured in a prelude and postlude drawn from the great historical repertory of organ music for the church, with an emphasis on the music of Bach and his German near-contemporaries, but including also masterpieces  from the great organ traditions of England, France, and Italy spanning the last four centuries. Click below for a listing of scheduled organ works, as well as information concerning our organ, Southfield Organ Company's Opus 30. 

Get Involved!

Our choirs are non-auditioned and open to all—the only requirement is a love of singing! Contact our Director of Music, Mark Sullivan, at markcec@snet.net.
