The Adult Choir is made up entirely of amateur singers who consistently provide the congregation with a high level of musical leadership, whether it is through singing the hymns, the liturgy, or special music. The range of the Adult Choir's repertory extends from Gregorian chant to concertatos by Richard Hillert and Carl Schalk, and music commissioned for and by the people of Immanuel. The Adult Choir is conducted by Cantor Elizabeth Bennett.  [Click here to hear the choir singing Hugo Distler's Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt]

Immanuel's Children's Choir is made up of the members of all Sunday School classes. Children's Choir meets on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m. in the Choir Room.  The Choir sings familiar songs like "Jesus Loves Me" in addition to learning parts of the liturgy, hymns, and anthems for service. The Children's Choir is directed by Elizabeth Bennett.

Membership in either choir is open to all who can sing, who enjoy singing the liturgy, and who can commit to regular weekly rehearsals and Sunday morning worship services. The Adult Choir rehearses every Wednesday, September through early June, from 7:30 to 9:00. The Children's Choir meets every Sunday September through May from 9:15 to 9:30 a.m.

The 2011-2012 year is a great time to join the choir!  If it's an issue, we can arrange for childcare to be available during Wednesday evening rehearsals. Adult Choir is open to anyone in the congregation Grade 9 to age 109! Please talk with any current choir member or Elizabeth Bennett for more information about joining. You may also simply show up on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.!
