Riverside Presbyterian Church has a
long history of musical excellence. RPC’s

Handel’s Messiah is a Christmas tradition
featuring the Riverside Festival Chorus,
local soloists and orchestra. The Chorus
has also sung Vivaldi’s Gloria, Rutter’s
Requiem, and Schubert’s Mass in G.
The Chancel Choir meets weekly during

RPC offers musical groups for all
ages. The Riverside Singers
children's choir meets on
Wednesdays from 4:15 - 4:45. The

not members of RPC are welcome
to join either group. The ages
range from 5 - 13 years. The RPC
handbell choir meets from 6:30 -
7:30 each Wednesday. This
multi-age group is also open to
non-RPC members. The group
currently has about 15 members
ranging in age from 8 years to the

meets each Wednesday from 7:30 -

choirs do not know how to read
notes. Music education is a part of
the learning experience. The RPC
Choirs offer a chance to become
more deeply involved in the worship
experience, share the joys of
Christian fellowship, and serve the
church and community. For more

Sloane, Minister of Music at
