Adult Music Ensembles
Our adult music ensembles perform music ranging from Mozart to music you would hear on the radio. Often, these groups have opportunities to work together for large special events, welcoming musicians from the university and all across northeastern Ohio.

Accompanying instruments include organ, piano, harpsichord, and, occasionally, strings, recorder, flute, trumpet, and other woodwinds. The choir holds rehearsals every Thursday evening, September through June and is open to anyone who wishes to join. Please contact the church office if you are interested in joining.
