Music has always been an important part of life at Fairhaven. We have a large and active music program for people of all ages and musical tastes. Approximately 75% of the church's active membership participate in one or more of our choirs or musical activities. VARIETY is a good word to describe the service music at Fairhaven. We love music and present virtually every type and style throughout the church year - contemporary Christian, traditional, Gospel, spirituals, and choral classics. In addition to the Sanctuary Choir (Fairhaven's primary church choir), we have a 14-member Handbell Choir. Volunteer directors work with our Gospel Choir and Children's Choir. Our church is blessed with many fine instrumentalists who participate regularly in our services and special programs. If you don't like the type of music you hear one Sunday at Fairhaven, come back the next week. You'll probably hear something entirely different! Sanctuary Choir Hui Ju Chen, Director/Accompanist Fairhaven's principal choir, the Sanctuary Choir sings at most services and for all major holidays. This choir sings a large variety of music and forms the nucleus of Fairhaven Musical Theater. Gospel Choir Freddie Payton, Director; Esther Lyons, Accompanist Specializing in Gospel music, this choir sings approximately twice a month at the Sunday morning service. The Gospel Choir often participates in Gospel programs at area churches and hosts an anniversary concert at Fairhaven the first Sunday in October. Handbell Choir Hui Ju Chen, Director This choir plays approximately once every six weeks and participates in all Fairhaven Musical Theater productions. Fairhaven has a three-octave set of Schulmerich Handbells and a two-octave set of choir chimes. Children's Choir Jean Sansonetti, Director; Doug Ortega, Accompanist The youngest of Fairhaven's choirs, the Children's Choir sings at the Sunday morning service approximately once a month and for most major holidays. The Children's choir also participates in many Fairhaven Musical Theater productions. Fairhaven Musical Theater Fairhaven's musical programs extend beyond Sunday services - and sacred music.
