Our church is located in the heart of a vibrant musical community, supported in part by activities and organizations at four outstanding academic institutions, including the renowned Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. We have regular performances by our adult choir, accomplished church members and guests and musical groups. On special occasions, our historic organ, our frame drumming group, and children’s and handbell choirs can be heard.
Adult Choir
The choir is composed of adults and teenagers who like to sing. Music reading ability is helpful, but not necessary. They sing a wide variety of music from all periods and from many cultures and traditions. Some pieces are sung a cappella, others with accompaniment by organ, piano, percussion, or other instruments. New members are always welcome!
The rehearsal schedule is emailed to members and listed on the calendar.
Guest Musicians and Musical Groups
Our music director schedules worship performances by accomplished church members, guest musicians and musical groups. We are blessed to hear varied music which includes jazz, classical guitar, flute, folk singers and so much more.
Frame Drumming
On special occasions, a frame drumming group, led by Dr. Caron Collins, performs Persian style drumming along with familiar chants. To learn more about the drumming group, check out the events and activities page. Rehearsals are announced and scheduled on an as needed basis.
Children’s Choir
The Children’s Choir is open to all 2nd to 6th graders who like to sing. The choir occasionally performs at the December holiday pageant. Rehearsals on an as needed basis.
Handbell Choir
Since the early 1980s, our church has enjoyed hearing a three-octave set of Schulmerich bells . Ringers are invited through weekly enews announcements and website posts on an as needed basis. No prior experience is required but basic familiarity with the music staff and rhythmic notation are needed.
