Instrumental Ensembles
Handbells
Led by Rebecca Holt, the Handbell Ensemble rehearses on Saturday mornings and plays in worship services approximately once a month during the program year. Moderate music-reading ability is necessary and a sense of rhythm and coordination important. No audition is required. The Ensemble is open to eighth grade students and older. Successful handbell choirs always have a sense of group spirit and mutual support with regular attendance at rehearsals crucial.
Second Winds
All youth and adults who have completed at least three years of study on wind, brass, string, or percussion instruments are eligible and encouraged to become a part of Second Winds. This intergenerational ensemble is comprise of volunteers from Second Presbyterian Church and the local community and plays in two to three services each semester. This ensemble is a great opportunity for youth and adults to work together to create beautiful music, enjoy fellowship, and use their gifts and talents to glorify God.
These ensembles are open to anyone in the community—you do not need to be a member of Second Presbyterian Church to join!
