Music at DHUC
|
|
Music has been a spiritual and enlivening part of worship and community at Dunbar Heights United Church since the doors were first opened on the West Side of Vancouver in 1926. Since that time, the choirs, instrumental ensembles, and music programs have inspired, supported and enriched church services and Vancouver’s cultural community. Continuing and expanding on that tradition today, the Music Program at Dunbar Heights continues to offer opportunity for those who would like to express themselves musically, and provides musical quality and variety for those who would like to listen and learn. | ||
The music program at Dunbar Heights is directed by Dr. Greg Caisley. He works with the choir, the ministry staff and gifted local musicians to bring wonderful music to every worship service.

At Dunbar we also have a children's choir.They meet at 9:15 with the talented and energetic Colleen Cotton to prepare songs for worship. |
Our lovely and talented assistant to the music program is Dr. Elinor Chambers. She accompanies choir anthems and plays piano and organ for musical offerings to worship. She also plays the drums and sticks as required. |

The choir works hard on music, but also enjoys the fun and camaradarie of working and playing together.
If you know a younger singer or musician who would be interested in being part of this musical tradition, consider sending our Musical Director an email
Choir meets from 7-9pm every Thursday evening beginning September 10th and at 9:15am Sunday mornings. New singers are always welcome. |
