Voices of Variety
At St. John's Voices of Variety Youth Choir, nothing goes together better than children and music! Since 1996, the children's choir, Voices of Variety, have presented an annual holiday concert and also sung on various occasions throughout the church year. St. John's youth often perform during the church services and on special youth Sundays. In addition, programs are being developed to enhance the youth music program at St. John's. Cultivating youth musicians is an important aspect of the overall music program at St. John's. The youth program is lead and developed by the Associate Music Director, Rachel Kramer.
