The Premier

We have the opportunity to share the first of our new works by composer-in-residence Zeb Highben this Sunday. Be a part of The Premier.

We will rehearse at 9:15, joining the brass and the 7-12 choir later in the morning to bring this lovely work to life.

A Special Opportunity

First Pres has been given the great gift of a talented composer-in-residence who is writing new music for us. We have the privilege to premier the first of his compositions on October 30. It is a special thing to put flesh on the bones of a new piece of music. And we need as many able-voiced singers as possible to make it successful.

Zeb Highben has set a beautiful text from the Old Testament book of Jeremiah. The piece features choir, organ and brass and was conceived an entree into the reading of the Jeremiah text, followed by a response which incorporates the hymn The God of Abraham Praise. It is a lovely combination of proclamation and comfort.

This Sunday we have the privilege of bringing this new piece of music to life. You are crucially needed for it to be successful. Plan to be with us at 9:15 am.

God is Our Refuge

Join the choir as we sing a bright setting of Psalm 46--Allen Pote's God is Our Refuge.

Rehearsal begins at 9:15.

We are also working on the premier of a new piece written by our composer-in-residence Zeb Highben as well as Kirkin' music.

Hope to see you there.

Let's Get Together and Work Ahead

We have exciting music ahead of us, including the first of our commissioned pieces from our composer-in-residence as well as Kirkin' music to begin.

It has been a challenge to prepare for upcoming weeks. Please know that your attendance is desired and appreciated. Let's get together and work ahead.

Hope to see you in the choir room at 9:15.
