MUSIC @ PLYMOUTH
From its earliest days, music has played an important role in the life of Plymouth Church. The congregation's first minister, Henry Ward Beecher, believed that singing deepened the spiritual connection to worship and encouraged the congregation to raise their voices together in harmony.
THE PLYMOUTH CHOIRS

In Cherub Choir we explore fun songs, fun motions, improvisation, singing in different languages, playing instruments, and playing musical games. Music and motion at its best! No requirements to join other than a willingness to sing with others and have fun!
Seraph Choir (Ages 7-12)

Kids who love music will love it even more when they join the Seraph Choir. They’ll grow their musical skills learning music production, how to read music and singing harmonies, all while having fun snapping and clapping to the beat with their friends and singing for services on Sunday.

The Plymouth Choir is a blend of professional and volunteer singers who lead the congregation weekly in worship, offering music from a rich variety of traditions - Mozart to 21st century composers. Plymouth choristers have a variety of musical backgrounds - from college choirs to singing in-the-shower.

Tone Chime Choir (Grade 9-Adult)

Tone Chimes are a unique and fun way to make music! Chiming is also a great way to contribute to worship at Plymouth, and is appreciated by the congregation. New members are welcome. We’re a friendly group; we all learn as we go. If you can count, and you enjoy collaborating with others, you can be a chimer. We practice weekly and play in Sunday worship several times a year. Come join us! Speak to Raymond (or any chimer) for details.
