Join Our Music Ministry
Are you interested in sharing your musical talents with our parish community? Our Music Ministry welcomes singers and musicians of all levels. Whether you're a seasoned performer or just starting out, we invite you to join us in uplifting our worship services with the gift of music.
There are so many wonderful opportunities to share your faith through music at St Gabriel’s Parish. These opportunities are outlined below.
Saturday Evening Choir
The ‘Saturday Evening Choir’ sings at the 5.00 p.m. Mass on Saturday evenings.
The music is a mixture of traditional hymns and Latin motets. E.g. Holy God We Praise Your Name and Mozart’s Ave Verum.
Who Can Join?:
Anyone who likes to sing and has two hours a week to spare.
The choir rehearses from 4.00 p.m. to 4.50 p.m. on Saturday and then sings at the Mass at 5.00 p.m.
This means we only have to give up one evening in the week.
Commitment:
While the ideal is everyone attends every week this, of course, is not practical. What we ask is that people attend every Saturday they are free.
Do You Need to Read Music?:
Not at all – we practice the music until everyone is comfortable with it. The split of members who can and cannot read music is about 50/50:
All are welcome.
Why not come along some Saturday and give us a try, we would love to have you.
