CHAMBER ORCHESTRA 

Director: Larry Christensen
Rehearsals: Multi-Purpose Room, Sundays 9:55 A.M. to 10:45 A.M.

This ensemble allows both young people who are growing in proficiency on their instruments and people who have seldom played since graduating from school an opportunity to put their musical skills to work in service of their church and their God. Led by a core quartet of “string scholars,” this small ensemble of strings and winds plays principally accompanies extended choral works, however, they also play chamber orchestra literature, accompanies anthems and hymns, and sometimes combines with brass and organ for festive services. 

BRASS ENSEMBLE

This group also rehearses Sunday mornings at 10 am to prepare music for liturgies. Additional trumpets, cornets, horns, trombones, euphonium, and tuba are welcome. Contact Larry Christensen for more information.

VARIOUS INSTRUMENT ENSEMBLES 

Consist of versatile musicians who play keyboards, guitars, and percussion to accompany portions of the liturgy and psalms for which that style and sound is appropriate. Rehearsals are by agreement, and if you are interested in being part of this experience talk to Larry Christensen.
