Choir History

Please click on the links below for more information on the history of our religion and culture, both here and abroad:

The church choir started in the winter of 2000 under the direction of Dan Cekarmis. Rudy and Betty Marich gave the choir a boost by donating the keyboard for choir practice. In 2001 Vjera Melton took over the duties as choir director. Since its inception the choir has learned the entire responses of the Liturgy from the first to the last Amin. The choir has added several variations of the antiphons, communion songs, Lord’s Prayer and hymns to the Theotokos (Irmos) and as well as other songs to the choir books. In addition the choir has learned the Sunday Resurrection Troparions, Kontakions, Prokeimenons, Glorys and Alleluias from the Serbian Book of Eight Tones. The choir has started to learn secular songs as well. Our hopes are that sometime in the future we will be able to join with other church choirs in the Serbian Singing Federation.

Parishioners who have song with the choir during the past five plus years are:
