Music Ministry Team

Mission

  • Provide choral and instrumental music for church services incorporating a variety of spiritual music.

  • Music is integral to worship, speaking deeply to our hearts and carrying the message of each service. Our goal is to involve our congregation in beautiful, meaningful music every Sunday

Quintessence 14th Annual Summer Choral Festival Concert!
          Can you think of a time when music lifted your spirit or brought you to tears? A moment that you wished you could bottle and keep for a later visit? I am very fortunate to be involved in just such a magical event this Sunday, and I’m inviting you to come and share it!
          The Quintessence Summer Choral Festival concert begins with a chamber choir of teens and young adults singing a wide variety of gorgeous music, and then moves to a choir of 120 voices with a professional orchestra of 40, performing the US premiere of “Requiem” by Taylor Scott Davis. Taylor will be with us that weekend, and if you come at 2 PM you can hear him discuss his piece. You can hear part of the Requiem, recorded in London, here: https://tinyurl.com/y6r44f5e It’s a beautiful piece filled with memorable melodies. Other than the movement I’ve linked here, it’s in Latin.
          So, journey to the lovely concert hall at V. Sue Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho this Sunday! Pre-concert discussion at 2:00 PM, concert at 3:00 PM. Tickets are available here: https://www.quintessence-abq.com/ I promise you will come away uplifted and energized!
