Emmanuel Parish Choir

The Parish Choir is open to all from high school age up. The Choir leads and supports the congregation’s singing of the hymns and service music. It also offers a choral anthem, a special piece of music that either reflects the liturgical season or illuminates the readings of the day.

The Choir is fortunate to have the vocal and musical leadership of a Choral Scholar or Intern in each section. They provide support and guidance to the volunteer members and allow for a wider variety of music to be performed.

The repertoire of the choir ranges from English Tudor music to that of the Twentieth Century. The style and sound of the choir strives to be clean and clear with expressive diction and dynamics.
Participation in the choir is rewarding and also strenuous. A typical weekly schedule is as follows:

Sunday morning

9:00 AM warm up rehearsal
10:00 AM Eucharist

Wednesday evenings

6:00 pm warm up rehearsal
6:30 pm Sunday on Wednesday Eucharist
7:15 pm full choir rehearsal

The choir also sings for all Christmas Eve services, Holy Week and Evensong services in Advent, Lent and Eastertide.
