Adult Choir

Welcome to the Adult Choir!

The choir provides choral music to amplify the spiritual message of each Sunday morning worship service. Our repertoire includes sacred music of all musical styles (classical, gospel, folk, jazz, contemporary, as well as others). In addition to presenting musical offerings for worship services, the choir has occasionally performed major works in concert, including Fauré’s Requiem, Durufle’s Requiem, and Vierne’s Missa Solemne. The choir also performed Missa Gaia with Grammy Award Winning artists Paul Winter, Eugene Friesen, and Theresa Thomason.

Get Involved with the music program at First Church!
The First Church Choir welcomes people of all skill levels, and those who sing do not need to be members of the church. We would love to have new singers join us! Contact Jim Boratko: jim.boratko@whfirstchurch.org for more info. No experience required. Practice Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in the Choir Room.

Thinking of joining the choir? We know how to have fun!
