Adult Choir

The adult choir, under the direction of Diane Rydell, has frequently been praised for their outstanding quality. Many visitors are amazed at the ability of a small church to maintain such a fine music program. This is due much to the skills of its music director, Diane, who was trained in New York and has brought her expertise to Banner Elk. In addition to beautifully rendered music in worship, the choir also presents several special music presentations each year, particularly during the Christmas and Easter seasons. On occasion, the choir invites an accomplished soloist who may be classically trained or perhaps a fine musician in the area of spiritual music. Instrumentalists are also invited from time to time to enhance the worship experience. Banner Elk Presbyterian has also enjoyed special groups, such as the singers from Lees-McRae College and other institutions. It is always a joy to see and hear just what the group will do from Sunday to Sunday. Practices are at 7:30 on Wednesday Nights and at 10:30 on Sunday mornings.
