Emerson's Musical and Performing Groups
Just as we draw our inspiration for Truth from all the world's great religions, we at Emerson sing and play from all musical traditions.  As part of the Sunday worship service or performing at special concerts and plays,  the choir, small vocal groups, drummers, orchestra and performing arts troupe contribute greatly to the vitality of the church.

The Emerson Church Choir sings for Sunday morning worship services during the church year, September through May. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays, 7:30 - 9:00 pm and Sundays, 10:45 to 11:00 am.  No auditions necessary, and all voices are welcome. Contact Bonnie Wellington, or visit the Choir Web Page.   The Choir sings at the 11:00 service beginning September 12.

The Emerson Intergenerational Orchestra (EIO) currently performs for four services during the church year. It is made up of school age children and adults—truly intergenerational. The Orchestra performs a variety of music, most of which is arranged by our Director Bill Atkerson. EIO is always looking for new musicians! If you are new to Emerson, and interested in joining this talented group, email Bonnie Wellington.

Suoni Dolci In Italian “Suoni Dolci” means Sweet Sounds, and this group fulfills its name. Featuring complex vocal music ranging from spirituals to traditional madrigals to vocal jazz, their sweet harmonies brighten the Emerson Sanctuary. Led by our own multi-talented accompanist, Anita Butt, the group prides itself on touching your heart (and sometimes your funny bone) with its music.  We're looking for new talent all the time, so if you love to sing, want to hone your ensemble skills, and have a lot of fun, here's your opportunity Contact: Anita Butt

The Emerson Players Dinner Theater For those with a passion for the footlights, The Emerson Players specialize in the funny and the bizaare. Our production of Montezuma’s Gold  came complete with barbeque dinner and a supply of paper wads to throw at the villains.
