musicAt Old Ship the minister and music director complement each other, together creating a distinctive worship experience. The music is chosen from a wide variety of sacred and secular sources to compliment the sermon topics, which address a wide range of spiritual and social concerns, as well as contemporary issues. A dedicated choir of fine musicians is often accompanied by instrumentalists. Our fine digital-sound Allen organ fills the Meeting House with its rich and diverse sound.
The Worship and Music Committee, together with the minister and music director, nurtures and supports the quality of worship at Old Ship, and has general oversight of the music program. Choir at Old Ship The choir at Old Ship Church is composed of amateur singers, supported by a professional quartet. The only prerequisite for membership is a love of singing. The choir sings at three Sunday services per month from September through June. Classical selections, pop songs, jazz tunes, folk music and spirituals are all in the repertoire, as well as music from other cultures and religions around the world. Special services include Christmas Eve, accompanied by brass quartet, and evening Vespers. People of all ages and abilities are welcome to join the choir. Rehearsals are before Sunday services at 9:00 a.m. Our Music Director We are pleased and delighted to have Christopher Nickelson-Mann as our music director! He is currently the choral director at Stoughton High School, and was the music director at the United Church of Christ in Stoughton for nine years before coming to Old Ship. He and his husband Steve live in Stoughton. |
