Mt Albert Choir Perform

   /   
Mary McNair The Mt Albert Methodist Church choir recently participated in the Festival of Music and Brass at Holy Trinity Cathedral, Parnell, organized as a special evensong by the Auckland branch of the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM).

The RSCM was established in UK to promote Christian worship in all churches, and to provide music and worship resources for musicians and congregations.

The evening service involved a chorus of 60 musicians from affiliated RSCM choirs with two conductors, Neil Schroff and Mark Rosser. The Auckland City Brass Band enhanced the Cathedral’s assistant organist for the hymns sung by the congregation and the choir.

The Mt Albert choir, sang the anthem God of All Creation, the winning entry of an RSCM competition in 2021.

The following week, the choir sang at the Auckland Central Synod joint service. In addition to singing at weekly church services – they take a break in January – the choir gives regular concerts, sings at the local ANZAC service and provides an all-comers bi-annual sing-along Messiah that is popular with the wider community.
