Choir
The Alice Millar Chapel is widely known for its excellent musical program. The chapel choir is at the heart of that program, accompanied by organ, brass ensemble, and orchestra.
Chapel Choir

The choir rehearses Tuesdays 4:00-5:40 PM and Thursday 4:00-5:10 PM with rehearsals or performances most Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
