Candler Singers & Voices of Resurrection

April 29, 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. worship

There are great advantages to being First United Methodist Church of Orlando. Located in a destination city, most of the country ultimately comes to town. In addition, the beauty of our sanctuary and exquisite acoustics make the sanctuary one of the most rewarding venues for touring musical ensembles. Soon, two groups that have been selected to sing at General Conference in Tampa will also sing for our worship on April 29.

The Candler Singers is a choir of seminary students from the Methodist seminary in Emory University. The 20 singers are all students of theology preparing for ministry. Directing the choir is Rev. Barbara Day Miller, assistant director of Worship and Music at  Candler.

The Voices of Resurrection is a 20 member, auditioned ensemble from The Church of the Resurrection in suburban Kansas City. The group sings a variety of musical styles but concentrates mostly on the Jazz idiom. The choir is in Florida to sing a special concert at General Conference as they represent the largest Methodist church in America with 7,430 members attending worship each week.
