Music at Christ Lutheran Church      

Opportunities

 

Chancel Choir is the 'crown jewel' of the music program.  There is an open invitation to anyone who has an interest in making a joyful noise by singing in the Chancel Choir to contact Karl DeBoeser at 610-770-9506.  The choir sings a wide variety of arrangements, including classic and traditional styles as well as more recently written compositions.  Some music reading ability is recommended, but one does not have to be an accomplished singer, per se.  Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m., beginning September 8th.

Immanuel Singers (ladies only) are women who are interested in singing contemporary music.  Schedule is less demanding as they sing on average once per month.  Rehearsals are for 45 minutes after the late service on Sundays,  beginning on September 12th.
Please call Karl at 610-770-9506 for more information.

Christabells are the hand bell ringers of the congregation and always open to welcoming new members.  If you have rung bells in the past, or if you have ever thought about trying please consider joining us.  It is helpful to be able to read music a bit, although we do mark each bell part.  Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and will begin on September 15th.  For more information, contact Donna Lahouchuc at dlahouchuc@yahoo.com or 610-820-8486.

Historically, the music ministry at Christ Church has attracted many new members to the church.  If you are not a musician but know of someone who may have an interest in singing in one of our choirs, please tell them about our excellent music program as this may serve as an avenue for him or her to become an active part of our church family.  This represents the "Evangelical" part of our Lutheran heritage!  Feel free to talk us up!

Concert Series

In March 2012 Music at Christ Lutheran will present two exciting events as part of our concert series.  Put these dates on your calendar!

On Sunday, March 18th, the Lenoir-Rhyne University A Cappella Choir and Brass Ensemble directed by Paul Weber will perform at 4 p.m. as part of the spring tour.  There will be much more information to follow, but part of our sponsorship is providing housing for the approximately 50 members of the choir on the evening of March 18th.  We will need about 25 host homes to accomplish this.  If you are interested, contact the church office at 610-433-4271, and look for more information in the future.  

On Sunday, March 25th, we will welcome the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists as they present a "Bach Marathon" from 2-7 p.m.  This will be the 16th time that the LVAGO has presented a Bach Marathon; it has been one of their most popular events in past years.  Members of the chapter will play Bach on our fine organ -- admission is free!
