Music

Our ensembles for children, youth and adults share the common vision to be a loving community of God that passionately and creatively pursues excellence in music and worship. We are blessed to have so many people with diverse musical backgrounds, united to create inspiring music to God’s glory. Music on Sunday mornings and at special worship services, concerts, and other programs throughout the year are open to all. People of all abilities and ages are welcome to participate in our musical groups, or help the ministry behind the scenes and in other ways. Click the Ensembles link below for more information.

Music Endowment Fund

Established in memory of the first full-time music director at Myers Park United Methodist Church, the Walter Herbert Ball Endowment Fund for Music provides funding for music programs of the church for which he served so long and so faithfully. The Fund is used to underwrite concerts, including our Midday Music Series and the American Guild of Organists Summer Recital Series, which raises money for local organists’ scholarships.  The fund provides educational workshops with international clinicians and artists for our choirs and community. It provides funding for the commission of new sacred music and subsidizes the Chancel Choir’s tours, including trips to England, Austria and the Czech Republic, and Scotland. In 2021 the fund helped to refurbish the choir room for better seating and a more efficient rehearsal space.
