Music
Riverside Presbyterian Church has a long history of musical excellence. RPC’s 3-manual pipe organ dates from 1904. Handel’s Messiah is a Christmas tradition featuring the Riverside Festival Chorus, local soloists and orchestra. The Chorus has also sung Vivaldi’s Gloria, Rutter’s Requiem, and Schubert’s Mass in G. The Chancel Choir meets weekly during the school year and provides vocal musical opportunities in styles ranging from classical to contemporary. View the 2018 Video of Handel's Messiah

RPC offers musical groups for all ages. For children, the Riverside Singers children’s choir and the Riverside Ringers handchime group meet on Wednesdays from 4:15 to 5:15. Children who are not members of RPC are welcome to join either group. The ages range from preschool – 8th grade.
The RPC acaBELLa bell choir, with middle school students through adults, meets from 6:30 to 7:30 each Wednesday. This multi-age group is also open to non-RPC members.
The RPC Chancel Choir meets each Wednesday from 7:30 to 8:30 pm.
Not all members of our choirs know how to read notes. Music education is a part of the learning experience. The RPC Choirs offer a chance to become more deeply involved in the worship experience, share the joys of Christian fellowship, and serve the church and community. For more information, please contact Sally Sloane, Minister of Music.
