Church of the Redeemer
Music
From our Celtic ensemble to our children’s choir, from the Banquet ensemble to special musical worship events, music is central to life at Church of the Redeemer! Our Music Ministry groups gather together on Thursday evenings during the program year (September – May) to share a meal and rehearse. Read about our many musical opportunities using the tabs on the sidebar, and for more information about Church of the Redeemer Music Ministry family, contact Dr. L. Brett Scott, Minister for Music.
Church of the Redeemer Choir
The Church of the Redeemer Choir sings in the Holy Eucharist, Rite II worship service on Sundays at 9:00 am during the program year and in occasional special services. Weekly rehearsals on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm (September – May). For more information about our choir, contact Dr. L. Brett Scott, Minister for Music.
Banquet Ensemble
Church of the Redeemer’s Banquet Ensemble leads congregational music during our Banquet Eucharist worship on Sundays at 11:00 am. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm. (September – May)
This group is led by Jerika Hayes, our Assisting Minister for Music.
Musical Play for Families
Musical play is a wonderful way for families to connect with their young children. This class, held Thursdays from 5:30 – 6:15 pm at the church, aims to support early musical enrichment in a fun, low-pressure environment suitable for anyone regardless of musical experience or ability. Families with one or more children 4 years old and under are welcome. Led by Krista Cornish Scott, this class will have room for all to spread out and use their bodies and some rhythm instruments to introduce musical concepts. We’ll also sample songs from a variety of cultures and languages, with a sprinkling of liturgical music to aid little ears in feeling connection to The Episcopal Church tradition.
Join us for some musical enrichment activities, along with wiggling and moving our bodies after a long day! And plan to stay and join others from the Church of the Redeemer Music Ministry for a communal meal following class.
Questions? Contact Krista Cornish Scott.
Celtic Ensemble
Our Celtic Ensemble provides music for the 5:00 pm Celtic Eucharist during the program year. Instrumentalists of many kinds play and lead music 1- 2 times per month. Rehearsals are Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m.
Jubilate Deo Choir
Jubilate Deo Choir is a choir for children ages 6-12. No previous singing experience is required. Jubilate Deo strives to provide an active, creative, and meaningful service opportunity for our young choristers. This year, we hope to continue our strong tradition while incorporating instrumental music-making and music literacy as well as vocal music. Musicians should come prepared to help make creative decisions and to work together to shape pieces to be shared in worship. The choir meets Thursdays (September through May) from 5:30 pm – 6:15 pm at the church as part of Music Ministry Night and welcomes a new director this year, Anna Calhoun. Learn more about Anna..
Please contact Anna Calhoun, Director and/or Shelley Dumoulin, Assistant Director and accompanist, with any questions.
