St. Martin’s Cathedral Choir is a very integral part of worship in our parish as they lead our congregational in their singing on most Sundays. There is choir practice once a week from September to May with continual learning of new music for Christmas, Easter, special services; there are also weekly communion selections.  As well, each year the choir performs at the annual Kiwanis Music Festival. The two selections this year were Bless Us All and Agnus Dei How Great Thou Art.

This year was particularly exciting as the choir was invited to perform at the Rose Bowl Festival Highlights, and received a discretionary adjudicators award. What a privilege to share music ministry at Kiwanis, and with our community. And the award? It too was shared, as the choir thought it fitting to give back to a cause that involved music and children, and chose to donate it to the music therapy program at Princess Basma Center in Jerusalem.

Many thanks to our talented and dedicated leaders: to Leslie our organist/pianist, and to Susan our director.

But most importantly, Thank you Lord, for the gift of voices to make beautiful music, and the opportunities to freely share our music with others.
