MUSIC
Olivet's music program enjoys the hearty support of the entire congregation.
It consists of an adult choir, a bell choir and many talented instrumentalists from within the congregation. Though the program is somewhat modest in size, it is the quality of the musical expression
that sets this congregation apart. This can be seen in the beautiful tracker action organ gracing the chancel, the anthems sung by the by the choirs and music played on various instruments all by the great composers throughout history and the unusual collection of hymns sung by the congregation.
The styles of music range from Renaissance polyphony to Baroque and Romantic anthems to new works commissioned by the congregation to Gospel. But the main criteria we are interested in at Olivet is
this: is the piece well crafted, do we perform it well and does it serve the needs of our community? All the musical groups are led by professionals and made up of talented and enthusiastic non-professionals. All are welcome to be a part of the musical life at Olivet.
