Music at North Parish: Join us!

There are many opportunities for listening to and creating music here at North Parish. The joy of making music together is a special one and we encourage anyone who sings or plays to join in! The Director of Music conducts the groups listed below, and we also enjoy frequent guest performers from among our talented congregation. If you are interested in joining or starting a group, or in providing some music for a service, or have any other ideas about the music program, contact the Music Director .

Groups

Vocal Choir

The vocal choir is the heart of our music program and sings at one or two Sunday Services a month. It is an intergenerational group of parishioners who love to raise their voice in song. You need to read music a little, or pick up by ear easily.

For rehearsal and singing dates, see the sidebar.

Handbell Choir

This intergenerational group plays at special services. Experience reading music (vocal or instrumental) preferred, but not essential. We form a Concert Handbell Choir of experienced players for special occasions. Contact Jo-Dee Gentile.

World Music Ensemble

This eclectic group includes percussion, strings, winds, accordion. It celebrates the music of people around our planet. Contact the Music Director

Individual Performers and Other Groups

There are opportunities for individuals and groups to play music of varying styles, including classical, jazz, early music, and folk music. Contact music to make arrangements. Contact the Music Director

Third Annual Holiday Concert

This Sunday

    The North Parish Music Committee will present its third annual holiday concert, “Winter Starlight,” this Sunday, December 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the our historic Meeting House Sanctuary.



    “The music selections range from traditional sacred Christmas, to traditional Hanukkah, winter solstice and popular secular Christmas songs,” said Music Director John Middleton-Cox. “The first half will end with a rousing rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus and the evening will conclude with a fun sing-a-long for all.”

    Featured performers, many of whom are talented musicians and members of the North Parish, include the Adult Choir, Solstice Singers, Java Ice, NPQ, a vocal quintet, the North Parish Handbell Choir and the Youth Choir, with noted pianist Frances Burmeister serving as accompanist.

    The suggested donation is $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors and students and tickets will be available at the door.
