[HANASHIR:12978] Re: choral music at services

[Lynda Casden <lyndaC...>]

In response to your request. We have a professional mixed with volunteer
around a 13 person choir for HH Days only. Then there is a children's
choir that sings here and there, no set time. Now we are forming a
Family choir which will sing for Family Shabbat services and Family
services at the HH Days. We also want to sing a nursing and retirement
homes. We are having our first practice in January.
Please let me know the results of your survey.
Thank you.

I'm making informal survey of the use of choral music at Reform worship
services.  If you have time, would you kindly let me know the
following:

Approximate size of your congregation: medium (400 - 800 families)

If yes, how many times per month do they sing at Shabbat services?
 Only at special occasions (like Shabbat Shirah, and installations)
Do you have a professional choir?
 no
If yes, how many times per month do they sing at Shabbat services?
 never
Which choir sings at High Holy Days -- professional, volunteer or both?
 combined
Name and location of your congregation:
 Cong. Sinai, Milwaukee, WI

Many thanks for your cooperation in this endeavour.
