  Subject: [HANASHIR:12972] choral music at services


  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: small (under 400 families) medium (400 
- 800 families) large (800-1800) very large (1800 plus)

  Do you have a volunteer choir? Yes

  If yes, how many times per month do they sing at Shabbat services? We do 
Shabbat second Friday of every month - they sing at virtually all services 
unless we do a different kind of music program (ex: Shabbat service w/Klesmer 
music, etc.)

  Do you have a professional choir?  We bring in some pros for High Holidays - 
and again - for some specific musical presentations such as Shabbat Service w/ 
Gospel Music

  If yes, how many times per month do they sing at Shabbat services?

  Which choir sings at High Holy Days -- professional, volunteer or both?    

  Name and location of your congregation:   Valley Outreach Synagogue      
Reseda, CA


  Many thanks for your cooperation in this endeavour.
