New Year begins for Trinity Episcopal Church Choirs

Trinity Episcopal Church in Concord begins new season for Parish Choir. Call Robert Barney, music director, 978/369-3715 x20,

Weekly rehearsals for Trinity Episcopal Church’s three choirs have begun, and singers in our greater Concord Community are invited to join us for a year of wonderful music making under organist/choir director Robert Barney. There are openings for singers of all ages, from children in grades 2 or 3, through middle- and high school youth, to adults. Trinity Episcopal Church is located at 81 Elm Street in Concord and is fully handicap-accessible.

Junior Choir—Grades 2 and 3
Absolutely no previous experience required or expected! This group rehearses every Thursday from 4-5 pm. Rehearsals are structured to teach and develop basic skills in music and singing, as well as to introduce the Hymnals and Book of Common Prayer, and to learn about the Liturgy. The Junior Choir sings in the 10 am Eucharist Service on the first Sunday of the month when they are ready.

Youth Choir—Grades 4 through 10
This group rehearses every Thursday from 5:15-6:15 pm, and participates every Sunday in the 10 am Eucharist, singing an anthem on the first Sunday of each month and for special services at Christmas, Easter and other occasions. The Youth Choir also sings the Service of Choral Evensong twice each year. Rehearsals are designed around the Royal School of Church Music program teaching musical skills and singing technique in the context of our Liturgical tradition.
