Music at Mediator
Worship Through Music
Rehearsal Schedule for Choir
Wednesday Evenings: 7:15 to 9:15 p.m.
(September through Mid-May)
Adult
Choir
Mediator’s Adult Choir will resume
rehearsals on Wednesday, September 7th and sing their first service of
the new season on Rally Sunday, September 11. We are very proud of our
Adult Choir of approximately fifteen singers, volunteers and section
leaders. The Choir plays an important part in the life of the Church of
the Mediator, participating in over 40 services each year, singing
anthems in each service and leading the congregation in the singing of
hymns, Psalms and service music. Our choir library is extensive and
includes masterworks from several centuries of music literature.
The Choir welcomes new members in all voice
classifications who love to sing the great music of the church, enjoy
singing in parts with others and the challenge of learning new music. A
solo quality voice or professional singing background is not required;
but an attractive voice, the ability to read music on a basic level,
and the ability to learn new music reasonably quickly are highly
desirable.
Choir rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings
beginning at 7:15, September though May. If you are interested in
becoming a member of the choir, please contact me at cmiller@episcopalmediator.org
or at 610 434-0155.

Chancel Opera
We
are starting up our chancel opera/children's choir again soon.
Tentative dates for new productions are Sundays, November 13, December
18 (pageant), February 12, and either April 15 or May 13. Rehearsals
will be set up based on when the most children can attend and will be
held at Susan Bingham’s house in West Allentown.
We would love to have a large number of children sign up, so if any of
you has a friend, school mate or neighbor who might like to join, let
us know. Please think about whether a weekend day or late afternoon on
a weekday would be best for you. We will meet for one hour, and if
there is enough interest, we will have the children take part not only
in the performing of the piece but also in the writing of it, as we
have done in the past.
Any parent who might be interested in helping with rehearsals (crowd
control, stage direction), costumes, publicity — let us know.
We will run rehearsals in chunks, so if you want to commit for
rehearsals for one performance, that is fine.
