SATB music on “mother” theme
I am looking for music for a possible Mother’s Day concert (for next year). There are countless Magnificats and Ave Marias to choose from, but it would be great to have something more unusual / secular / modern alongside the traditional choral repertoire. Mother Earth maybe?

Starting a Community Choir for Charities
Hi all, After two recent very successful concerts by a pick-up choir made up of friends of mine from church, college, and high school to benefit an organization doing mission work in Haiti, I decided to put together a regularly rehearsing/performing group to put on benefit concerts for charities/causes/mission projects. While I’ve already been blessed […]

Community Choir bank accounts
Could a community group start a bank account without first organizing as a non-profit? The reason I ask is that I am taking a community choir on a tour which will require them to submit payments. I would like for them to be able to write a check to the choir, but I’ve never set […]
used choir chairs???
I work for a small Episcopal parish with a limited budget. We need better chairs for the choir (currently using folding chairs)–we would especially like chairs that have a back pocket or side slots for hymnals and choir folders. Any suggestions as to where I might find them used or from a church that no […]
