Sing praises to our God, sing praises.
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

The Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church Liturgical Choir sings at all
services and liturgies throughout the year, adding to the quality of
the liturgical life of the parish. Liturgical Choir is an important
ministry of the parish as we are all called to serve one another with
our time, talent and treasure.

The Liturgical Choir is made up
of talented and dedicated singers who come from a variety of musical
backgrounds. Some members have been singing in an Orthodox choir since
their youth while others only started singing when they joined this
choir. All are united to one another by their desire to serve the Lord
in song.

Rehearsals

The HTOC
Liturgical Choir rehearses on Thursday nights  during the school year
(Mid Sept.-June) from 7:30-9:30 p.m., and as needed before major
feasts. Sunday warm-ups begin 40 minutes prior to the beginning of
Divine Liturgy.  Rehearsals are essential to forming choir unity and
developing musically and spiritually. Regular attendance at rehearsals
is expected by all member of the choir members.

Welcome One & All

All
are welcome to join rehearsals. Regular Liturgical Choir membership is
determined by the choir director with the blessing of the parish
rector. While previous music or singing experience is helpful, it is
not a requirement. Many of the this choir's strongest singers have
learned "on the job," so to speak. Don't let a lack of musical training
keep you from singing praises to God. Come and see (and sing!)

Children's Choir

Children in grades 4 through 8 are encouraged to participate in the HTOC children's choir, "Cherubim & Seraphim." The Cherubim & Seraphim
rehearse on the first Sunday of the month during the school year.
Rehearsals are incorporated into the regular Church School curriculum
and begin promptly at 9:05 am. The Cherubim & Seraphim sing at selected HTOC liturgies and services.
