MUSIC AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Gallery Choir The name comes from where we sit - in the gallery (balcony) of the sanctuary. Under the direction of Bill Wood, we sing a variety of music from middle ages to the 21 st century, from ancient chant to contemporary. On a given Sunday, you may hear the choir accompanied by organ, piano, handbells, guitar, or without accompaniment (a capella). This is a fun and friendly group. Not everyone in the choir reads music and skills vary, but we work together and help each other. Adults and students (senior high and older) are welcome. We are especially glad to have a number of college students singing with us. Gallery Choir meets at 7:30 on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings at 10:30 .
Westminster Chimes - Bell Choir
