Music at Kanata United Church

Saturday Sounds Concert Series

We provide opportunities for all ages and abilities to offer their musical gifts in worship, and to develop friendship by making music with others.

Bullfrogs and Butterflies

Ages 3-8

directed by Frances Balodis, M.Ed., ARCT

Practice: Every Wednesday evening, 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. Mid-October to mid-May

Program: Members work hard to learn new songs for a service once every month. Their songs are often accompanied by rhythm instruments or hand bells. They also make pictures which illustrate their music, or the seasons of the Church year.

Intermediate Choir

Ages 8-14

directed by Sally Duke, B.A., M.A.

Practice: Thursday evenings, 7:00-8:00 p.m., September to the end of May

Program: Members sing in church most Sundays. By rehearsing the hymns and responses, they become family with a rich variety of Church music, with the order of service, and with the seasons of the liturgical year. They also learn to become worship leaders. Once a month this choir sings an anthem, by itself, or with the senior choir. Members also enjoy preparing musical plays.

Senior Choir

directed by Sally Duke, B.A., M.A.

Practice: Thursday evenings, 8:15-10:00 p.m., September to June

Program: The role of the Senior Choir is to lead the musical worship of the congregation. Anthems are chosen to represent a wide variety of styles and periods, and to vary in difficulty so that both beginners and experiences singers are comfortable. The choir's music is meant to inspire the congregation and enlarge on the themes of worship through musical expression.

The Senior Choir also values its role as a caring, closer community within the larger Church family. New members are always welcome.

Instrumentalist Groups

Instrumentalist are also welcome to join in the ministry of music.

From time to time, musicians who play string or wind instruments, drums, guitar, organ or piano, enhance Kanata United Church's worship. They have formed small ensembles and even full orchestras.

For more information about one of the instrumental groups call the church office at 5592-5834.
