The Sanctuary Choir's newly released CD, With Many Voices, has been received with enthusiastic nationwide acclaim. Craig Jessop, Music Director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, comments that the choir "represents the highest standard of choral music in the churches of America today." Membership is by competitive audition from among the city's best ensemble singers and professional musicians.

The Festival of Voices is looking for motivated volunteer singers who believe passionately in the power of music to shape worship and transform lives. Under the leadership of Kenneth Dake, the Festival of Voices presents a broad range of choral repertoire in worship each month and in concerts throughout the year. Monday evenings’ high-energy rehearsals leave people feeling inspired and challenged. Two half-day Saturday retreats provide fun, fellowship, and deeper exploration of inspiring texts and soul-stirring harmony. The nurturing and supportive community of the choir offers a vital spiritual resource and forges lasting relationships with others on the journey.

Rehearsals are held Monday evenings, and the choir is featured in an annual Advent Concert, in the Good Friday liturgy, and as part of a grand Spring Choir Festival. Potential volunteers should be able to read music and commit to regular attendance. Contact Ken Dake at 212 686 2770 ext. 436 or Music Administrative Assistant Miriam Chaudoir at ext. 711 for information on how you can become a member of this ministry.
