MUSIC MINISTRY
MUSIC IS COMMANDED IN SCRIPTURE! Sing for joy
to God our strength; shout
joyfully to the God of Jacob. Music is an important part in the life of Towson Presbyterian Church. Opportunities exist for every age level to participate, including a graded program for children and youth that teaches the fundamentals of music as well as the Christian ideals of stewardship and responsibility. For more information call the church office at 410-823-6500, or contact Len Langrick, Director of Music, by email at llangrick@towsonpres.org. Hear samples of our music: Opportunities For Adults
The Adult Choir provides musical leadership for our weekly worship as well as for seasonal services and cantatas. In addition, the choir annually presents a Madrigal Feast and participates in a day retreat, No experience is necessary, just a love of singing!
An opportunity for adults interested in singing with the Adult Choir, but cannot make the weekly commitment at this time. The Third Sunday Choir sings the third Sunday of each month Sept.-June. Simply come to the 45-minute rehearsal on the Thursday prior to the third Sunday. Rehearsal begins at 7:30 PM.
The Chancel Handbell Choir is our 5-octave handbell ensemble that participates monthly in worship. Opportunities exist for more specialized playing in groups using 4-in-hand techniques. The ability to read music is necessary.
Ensembles can be arranged based on the desire and availability of church members and friends. Let the Director of Music know about your instrumental background. Letting your ability be known does not commit you to playing for worship! OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH Youth Chorus (2nd - 8th grade) Children’s Choir offers choristers an opportunity to further their music and leadership skills in vocal music, and also includes time for learning the art of handbell ringing. The choir sings or rings in worship approximately once a month, including the times of Christmas and Easter.
Cherub
Choir (PreK - 1st grade) Cherub Choir introduces foundational musical concepts through the use of folk songs and games. The choir participates in worship at various intervals during the year, including the times of Christmas and Easter.
