The Church Choir

A dozen-plus members of our congregation sing alongside several professional choirists (see biographies, at right). Talented, professional instrumentalists are often part of our services as well. Anthems are selected from the entire history of sacred music, from the earliest to the contemporary. Each year the Choir performs a major work on music Sunday. Experienced choiristers are welcome. For more information, contact Christopher Kabala.

The Greenwich Chamber Players

RHCC also co-hosts The Chamber Players concerts each fall and spring for a four-concert, series season. Each acoustically superior event is followed by an ample wine and cheese reception in the fellowship room.

Other music Events

The Church also produces/develops, or hosts, a variety of other religious and secular programs.
