Kerygma Choir strikes a chord!
The idea of a ‘Good News Choir’ has certainly struck a chord in the diocese as almost 60 people from all over County Down came along to Kerygma’s first rehearsal on Saturday 31 January. Choir Director, Lorna Palmer, was delighted with the response from singers of all ages.
“Running out of sheet music was a lovely problem to have! We all enjoyed ourselves – there was a great atmosphere and the choir made a very good start on the pieces we’re preparing for St Patrick’s Day.”
Kerygma will sing at the annual St Patrick’s Day Festival Service in Down Cathedral when the special guest will be the Archbishop of Canterbury. As part of the Year of Mission, two further concerts are planned for the summer and before Christmas.
The choir has been formed at the invitation of Bishop Harold with the charge of proclaiming the gospel through a variety of musical styles and genres. There are 5 more rehearsals between now and 17 March and, TENORS and BASSES, if you can make it for the next one on 7 February, you would be most welcome.
Act now!
