Adult Choir

Adult Choir

 
All are welcome to join our adult choir – you don’t need to be an exceptional vocalist!  We do not require auditions for this choir, but a pleasant voice and a willingness to learn are appreciated.
 
We rehearse September through May on Thursday evenings from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm in the balcony of the church. The adult choir leads our masses three or four times a month at varying Mass times.
 
We encourage you to try us out at a rehearsal before making a commitment to our group.  
 
Interested in sharing your gift of singing? Please contact our Director of Liturgical Music Bill Lieven at (414) 258-2604 ext. 27 or lievenb@www.christkingparish.org.

Tenors & Basses Needed:
 
Our Adult Choir is need of tenors and basses.  Here’s the story; we had ten tenors and basses before Covid 19 shutdowns.  Now, with a few retirements, relocations, and deaths we have only three talented and dedicated guys.  This limits the kinds of repertoire the choir can perform.  With only three men, we need to choose music that is small scaled with very limited harmony.   This story is not unique to Christ King.  When I speak with my colleagues from other churches, they share similar challenges.   Ideally four basses and four tenors (women or men tenors) would help us to inspire our assemblies with beautiful choral music and continue to offer that music when the inevitable absences occur due to work obligations, family commitments or illness.  I know many of us can hear the difference.  When the choir has a big sound with full harmony, we get wonderful comments about how the choir inspired us that weekend.  When the choir is a bit thin on a given weekend, the comments are kind but usually acknowledge the need for a larger group with more men.  
Choir is great way to express your faith and have some fun at the same time.  Please EMAIL Bill Lieven if you would be willing to help or would like to observe a rehearsal before joining.
