Evergreen Choir
~Steven Greenebaum, Director
The choir sings beautifully, works hard and has a lot of fun (just ask any choir member!). It includes experienced singers as well as novices; all are welcome. So if you enjoy singing, this is your place! Rehearsals are Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary to prepare for singing at two Sunday services each month, in addition to special occasions, including a fall concert and spring Service of Song.
Choir Schedule for 2008 - 2009
Accompaniment
Evergreen has two accomplished professional pianists, Ruth Mallery and Gayle Sells, who accompany services. Ruth also accompanies the Evergreen Choir. In addition to piano accompaniment, we have a
beautiful pipe organ and harpsichord that enhance our services on an
occasional basis.
Music Associates
We have a number of individuals in our congregation with a variety of musical talents that contribute to our services and special events.
