Choir Rehearsal
Every Sunday, 8:45 AM - 9:30 AM
Music brings us together, comforts us when we grieve, and helps our spirits soar. Many volunteer musicians work together to create the music ministry we experience each Sunday.
Our unique choir sings three Sundays each month, providing several anthems and all service music. On other Sundays, our music staff or guest musicians (including many from our congregation!) provide beautiful solo and ensemble music.
Several times a year our choir is joined by guest musicians for special Music Sundays. Music truly is at the heart of our worship life as a congregation. All are welcome to join the choir; there are no auditions. The choir rehearses on Thursdays from 7-9pm and on Sundays from 8:45-9:45am. Contact Director of Music Dr. Allegra Martin for more information or to join the choir.
A part of our music program’s mission is to develop and encourage young talent both within our church and in the larger Worcester community. This program is open to juniors and seniors in high school, and each year we have one or two students who share their music with us through this program. For the church year starting in September 2023, our Young Artist-In-Residence is William Ryan.
William Ryan is a violinist, pianist, and composer attending Burncoat Senior High School. William studies violin with Chrysanthe Manuel and Aaron Packard, piano with Mark Manuel, and studies composition with Sam Headrick. In addition, he is a member of multiple ensembles in Worcester Youth Orchestras and the Joy of Music Program. Outside of music, William is a member of the Burncoat robotics team and enjoys the creative process behind building the robot. The creative process inspires him in all aspects of life.
Supplemental support for our music program comes from generous donors through the Sherwood Encore Fund.
