Cantata Sunday

April 28
“Fill the Earth with Music”

 

In place of a sermon, the choir, along with guest soloists and orchestra, will present a program of anthems from around the world, in many languages, offered up as a prayer for peace. Bring your friends and neighbors to hear this beautiful music with a message of unity. Any questions, contact Michele Hecht, Director of Music Ministry.

Adult Choir (grade 9 through adult)

Co-directed by Michele Hecht and Jeff Haeger

Contact Michele Hecht.

The FCCGE Choir sings a variety of musical styles and performs in worship on a regular basis. 

Rehearsals:  Thursdays, 7:00-8:30 pm. 

Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir, directed by Matthew Prins , is open to 6th graders through adults. The ability to read music is very helpful, but ringing experience is not a pre-requisite.  Rehearsals:  Tuesdays, 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. Contact Matthew for more information.

Soloists/Instrumentalists

Soloists and ensembles are invited to share their talents during Sunday morning worship services.  On special occasions, we invite players to participate in a large ensemble, such as an orchestra. Contact Michele Hecht.

Taizé Ensemble
Experienced instrumentalists are invited to play in a small ensemble on Communion Sundays (usually once a month). We use the prayerful and repetitive music from the Taizé community of France. Contact Michele Hecht.

Recorder Ensemble
The Recorder Ensemble is a group of adult musicians who play recorders of all sizes and perform many styles of music. The group meets on an occasional basis. Contact Michele Hecht.
