St. Jane Frances de Chantal Parish maintains an active Parish Choir, whose repertoire spans a broad spectrum of sacred music. The ensemble consists of approximately 30 volunteer members with four paid Staff Singers, which support and enhance the volunteer ensemble, serve as principal cantors, and form the “Chantal Schola”. As an additional incentive, the staff singers have first right of refusal for the significant number of Parish weddings and funerals.
Beginning September 2022, the Parish Choir will sing again yearly every Sunday at the 10 am Mass (9 am call) from the Thursday after Labor Day until the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. They also sing for various extra services and para-liturgical events such as the All Souls Liturgy, Lessons and Carols, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the Easter Triduum. Weekly Rehearsals are held every Thursday, 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. in the church. Additional rehearsals are announced at the Director’s discretion.
Redeemer Bethesda is seeking section leaders (soprano and tenor) and substitutes (all parts) for our professional quartet that leads our volunteer choir of 25.
Redeemer is an Episcopal Church with music at its heart. As a Parish, we foster our community of professionals, volunteers, and music-appreciators to express our ministry of welcome and elevate our worship through the Anglican choral tradition. The repertoire is appropriately chosen and joyously executed, and whether a hymn or an orchestral mass setting, our music enriches the shared experience of life and the divine. Our composer-led Ensemble-in-Residence, Kassia Music is a first-class group that performs with the choir on special occasions, at our flagship Saturday evening concerts, and co-curates our Friday night series (with open mic). We welcome other local and regional professionals for our Saturday night series, who this year include The Whiffenpoofs, Sam Scheff, and the Eric Byrd Trio.
Our quartet of section leaders works collaboratively with our talented and enthusiastic volunteers. Tuning and ensemble are paramount, but our paradigm is the healthy focus of vowels through healthy onset to energize stylistic performance.
