OUR MUSIC PROGRAM |
An appreciation for music is as much a part of Greenville Community
Reformed Church as is its architecture. The Minister of Music,
Corazon Bisda, is an accomplished
organist and pianist. The choir includes four section leads that
are drawn from the prestigious music conservatories in New York
City. Instrumental support includes:
-
-
a
Baldwin upright piano in Hessler Hall
-
-
Music is a very important part of our worship service, and our
hymns and anthems consist of traditional to contemporary, including
Gospel/spiritual and instrumental. Our hymnals are
Hymns, Psalms & Spiritual Songs (Westminster/John Knox
Press) and
Sing! A New Creation (Reformed Church Press).
Musical Series
Our
church also sponsors a series of recitals and other musical events
throughout the year. These are innovative performances of great
music held in the sanctuary of the church. Some of these are integrated
into a Sunday worship service, while others are free-standing events.
