variety of events. The Ensemble has sung at weddings, at birthday

fund-raising
events. It has a wide repertoire of choral music, much of it a
capella, from early english madrigals to
newly composed
music.
At weddings the Ensemble will be the choir and lead the
hymn singing as well as sing anthems and special items during the
signing of the
registers. It will always considerspecial requests of music of
any age or style that is suited to its
resources.
