The Walden Hill Vocal Ensemble

Walden Hill Vocal Ensemble

We welcome all experienced members as well as prospective new members to join the Walden Hill Vocal Ensemble. The WHVE rehearses weekly at 6:00 p.m. Wednesdays in the Sanctuary during the regular (September - May) church year. We plan to sing for 14 or 15 Sundays this year. When we sing, we sing for both services, but we are always flexible.

As the congregation grows, it is our hope that the number of singers in the choir will grow too. The WHVE is open to members or friends of the church ages 15 and up. If you have any interest in singing and having a good time in service to the church, please join us. We will welcome your participation at any or all of these performances.  The following schedule indicates the Sundays when we'll be singing.
