The Joyful Noise Choir
A treble choir for young people in grades 4 through 12. (Fourth and fifth graders in Alleluia Morning are invited to participate in both groups.) Designed for our busy families and young people, the Joyful Noise Choir rehearses just once a month. Rehearsals are held following worship on the first Sunday of each month, and the Joyful Noise sings in worship at least once a month. Occasionally extra Sunday rehearsals may be scheduled if additional preparation time is required. This choir is also involved in presenting the morning message for one or two First Sunday services during the year.
The Handbell Choir
For ringers in grade 5 through 12 and adults of all ages. The Handbell Choir rehearses and plays for worship three or four times a year, as announced. New ringers are always welcome. No prior experience is necessary!
The Chancel Choir
For singers from grade nine through adults. Rehearsals are held each Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9 p.m., and the Chancel Choir sings every Sunday for worship, arriving at 9 a.m. for the pre-service warm-up. The Chancel Choir presents two special music services during the year, one during Advent and the other during Lent, and participates in the annual Choir Festival held at the St. Joseph – St. Lazarus Parish in East Boston in January. All are invited and welcome at any time during the year and to participate as his or her schedule allows. No previous experience or music reading ability required.
The Maple Street Artist Series
For over fifty years, the Maple Street Artist Series/Festival of the Fine Arts has brought excellent and inspiring music to our church and to the greater Danvers community. This program, entirely underwritten by the contributions of church members and friends, features guest artists in concert and as a part of special musical worship events.
