Choir

We are a multicultural group with active members from Singapore, Germany, Burma, Brazil, the Philippines, United Kingdom, Ireland, Indonesia, Kenya and Cameroon.

Our STM Choir currently consists of several instrumentalists and about twelve singers - and is a significant contributor to parish life, leading the congregation in singing the hymns and responses during regular Sunday Mass and providing the backbone of the musical support for special Masses.

All the members of our group are dedicated amateurs who sing and play their instruments to praise the Lord, and have fun while doing so.

Some songs are sung in unison while others are two-, three- or four-part arrangements.

We mainly take songs from our Parish Songbook Gather Comprehensive - Second Edition of GIA publications, Illinois, but also from the 2004 version of the Glory and Praise Songbook and Today's Missal (OCP).

Our non-paid musical coordinator Markus Löscher is a rhythm guitarist and part-time performer of old-time jazz. He has been playing Church Folk Music since he was sixteen.

Christina de Souza plays keyboard, Kieran McBrien mandoline/banjo, and Andrea Jacob as well as Tanya Talbot play the piano for us.

If you wish to find out more about our group, you can either come to a practice, contact the STM Office or you can send an e-mail to office@stmbonn.de.

Our practices are rarely cancelled, but it can happen. So please avoid the risk of coming and us not being there by contacting the parish office to confirm the practice is on - or just check on this website under Schedules. Choir rehearsals are usually on Fridays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm in the Church (Heilig Kreuz) - or sometimes in the rectory.

The STM Choir always needs new people who like our church music - traditional and modern. Whether you are a singer or play an instrument such as oboe, flute, saxophone, piano, electric or bass guitar, we will be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to make a contribution.

The German organist Herr Brück is scheduled to play for us on three Sundays a month. On the fourth Sunday, or when he is playing at special German services, or when he is on holiday we must arrange for a substitute piano player ourselves. That is why the STM Choir is needed more often in our church than officially scheduled.
