Central United Methodist Chancel Choir

The Central United Methodist Chancel Choir, directed by Dr. Karen Marrolli, offers music each week during Central’s traditional worship services. The choir sings a variety of repertoire, ranging from the classic works of Bach and Brahms to modern anthems from composers such as Susan LaBarr, Mark A. Miller, and Craig Courtney. They also routinely offer sacred folk music from around the world, from Celtic expressions of worship to songs from South Africa. Past performances of major works have included Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna, Bach Cantata 61 (Nun, Komm, der Heiden Heiland), and Robert Ray’s Gospel Mass. The choir has a history of participating in Neighborhood Concerts with the New Mexico Philharmonic, including the yearly presentation of Handel’s Messiah. The Chancel Choir exists as part of the larger music ministry of Central, which includes Mass ApPeal Handbells, Sinfonia, Women’s and Men’s vocal ensembles, and community outreach through the Love Your Neighbor concert series.
