| Led by Jimmy Emery, the Sanctuary Choir is a caring, spiritual community of
committed singers who offer their music gifts to the Lord. Participation is open
to all who desire to lead in worship through the gift of sacred song. |
| In addition to providing music for two services each Sunday morning, the
Sanctuary Choir leads many special seasonal services and performs four major
concert events with professional orchestra each year. The choir has been honored
to sing with such distinguished musicians as Sir David Wilcocks, Paul Leddington
Wright, Paul Salamunovich, and the late Duke Ellington. Under the baton of the
composer, the choir had the distinction of presenting the US premiere of John
Rutter's Requiem. |
| At the invitation of the Israeli government the choir sang in Bethlehem's
Manger Square on Christmas Eve in 1994. They have served as the featured choir
at the International Church Music Festival at Coventry Cathedral and they have
performed for the Texas Choral Directors Association. Memorable travel
opportunities have included performance tours to Greece and Turkey, eastern
Canada, and China. The Sanctuary Choir recently accepted an invitation to
perform the Lord Nelson Mass with the Dallas Festival Chorus at the 2009
International Haydn Festival in Vienna, Austria. |
| Your help is needed in this mission project! We are in need of major sponsors to help underwrite the expense of this project. Manpower will also be needed for a variety of duties from parking cars and ushering to selling tickets and food. |
| Please contact Jazz Band Director Alan Wagner at wagner@smu.edu or Jimmy Emery in the music department at 214.706.9591 or if you are willing to help with any aspect of the festival. |
