Believe Voices

Ensemble Description:
This "chamber
choir" leads worship and performs an eclectic array of quality choral
literature from gospel to "praise music" to classical. Members of
this ensemble are also members of the Chancel Choir
and occasionally provide solo and quartet support within larger Chancel Choir
pieces.
As this ensemble's list of memorized pieces grows, the group is in the process
of becoming a "repertoire"
ensemble - with "ready" selections for worship and performances
in the community.
Rehearsal Schedule:
Mid-August through end of May
Weekly on Thursdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
NOTE to potential members: As this ensemble is a double-quartet, membership
