Jubilee Chorus Held First Rehearsal of 2015’16 Season

Sep 15, 2015

On September 15, Jubilee Chorus held first rehearsal of 2015'16 season at 244 Rehearsal Studios New York. 

The members who participated our first rehearsal;  Nitya Thomas (soprano), Mihee Gwon (soprano), Naomi Vaughan (soprano), Rachel Porter (alto), Yongsin Kim (alto), Yessica Bernal (alto), Madeline Shaffer (alto), Jeremy Whitener (tenor), Aaron Castle (bass), and our conductor Bill Heigen and accompanist Sangmi Yoon. A visitor came, who is a singer of the Jubilee worship band as well.

The first gathering and rehearsal of the praise songs was joyful, cheerful and hopeful! They learned and rehearsed three of the songs of our concert program, "It is Well With My Soul" by Philip B. Bliss, "Jubilee" by Tom Bynum, and "Why We Sing" by Greg Gilpin, which they will perform in October concert.  

Chorus's accompanist / manager, Sangmi Yoon shared, "We had our first chorus rehearsal of this season yesterday (9/15) in God's grace. Thank God! It was a full of energy and sounded professional already. I could feel that everyone was connected in music even though we all came from different places with different backgrounds. It was only beginning. I lift up all of our hearts and gifts and the glory to our Lord. While I was watching each member and hearing their singing, I was thankful and just had to acknowledge that it's not ours; the talent that each individual has is from God. All we can do is just give back to God what we have received, such as our sincere hearts and time. It was our gracious and thankful first chorus rehearsal. I hope we can keep our energy and spirit in Christ until the end! Praise the Lord our God!"

Jubilee Chorus's new season has started! Your prayers are needed and will be appreciated for their new season and the Jubilee Chorus!
