The
choir processing out after the Christmas Eve Candlelight
Service.
|
The
Rodgers
940 electronic organ and a fine quality Yamaha
piano provide the support for congregational singing
and also serve as instruments worthy of concert
performance.
|
The
Choir practices on Thursdays nights, 7.00 - 8.15pm
and again on Sunday mornings before the Worship
Service. There are about 24 Choir Members but new
members are always welcome and are invited to contact
the Choir President Bill
Watt.

The
musical tradition at First Church is maintained
by a regular choir and frequent concert performances
arranged by the Tay Music Trust and other organisations.
The fine acoustics of the building make it a superb
place for music and visiting choirs and ensembles
often to make it their Invercargill venue.
