Our church choir

Our church choir at Trinity is wonderful. We have people from all over the world - India, Poland, Germany, China, the U.S. and others I can't think of right now - ages from early 20's to senior citizens. I have learned so much about music and singing from our director, Dr. Jerrode Marsh, who is from the states and married to an opera singer who sings mostly here in Frankfurt, but also travels to other parts of Europe to sing in other productions. Jerrode is a professional pianist and a great director of music at Trinity. She is beginning to plan our "Messiah" presentation for spring of 2011. We are starting our learning of the Messiah by singing some of the easier pieces in church on different occasions, beginning with this coming Sunday when we will sing 2 pieces. I never thought I would enjoy singing this type of music, but she has made it fun - and the caliber of the singers has helped me a lot.

Attached are some pictures of our last rehearsal. We have a "tea table" set up for those of us who want to sip on tea during rehearsal. The picture of the choir was taken at the beginning of rehearsal, and we almost doubled the size by the time everyone got there - hard to get started on time!!!
