Do you have time for solos but not choir? Marcia would love to talk to you.

 

Our Music Director is Marcia Soriano

  

Marcia was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania and began taking organ lessons at age seven. She was an active member in her church choir as well as her youth group and Girl Scouts. Marcia's first job was as an organ demonstrator at a local music store where she also gave lessons. From 1972 to 1990 Marcia was married and raised two boys while frequently moving and getting her hands in music via giving music classes. In 1990 when she moved here, Marcia started her own business "Creating Stars" giving lessons in singing and piano. From 1992-2002 Marcia was the accompanist for Booth-Ficket Middle School choir working closely with the music teacher.  In 1995 she became St. John's music director where she directs the adult choir, plays organ for worship service, leads the congregation on piano in hymn singing and is the accompanist for the youth choir and the Blending Hearts. In addition she also plays for weddings and memorial services. Marcia is married to fellow musician Henry Soriano.

 

We have four choir groups and "special performers"

  • Cherubs is for our pre-kindergarten children up to second grade. This group is led by Lisa Taylor and Jessica Aldridge. They sing the first Sunday of the month.
  • Youth Choir  is for third grade through High School. This group is led by Jeanne McKenna. Youth practice is after church. They sing on varying Sundays, at least once a month.
  • Adult Choir is led by our Church Music Director Marcia Soriano. They sing weekly except during the Summer.
  • Blending Hearts is a choral group of church members that sing contemporary music during our service. Nikki Sprenger is the director. All ages are welcome.
  • Special Performers. Throughout the year we have various members who offer their talents in the form of singing and/or instrumental either alone or as part of the choirs.  Some members of our church sing with the Tanque Verde Singers. Contact Susan Dimka for information on Tanque Verde Singers.
