Trinity’s Music Ministry
The Music Ministry has a tradition of planning and performing an annual fundraising concert called “Sacred to Silly”. We include all music programs as well as guests from the community. This event is not to be missed!
Trinity also boasts of its proud possession - a three manual Keates pipe organ. This is a professional calibre instrument which is carefully maintained and lovingly used by those who feel honoured to play it. We have had many world-class organists sit at its bench, and we hope to have more in the future.
Trinity LOVES its music and appreciates its musicians!
Trinity’s Music Ministry is divided into two leadership roles.
Music Leader - Maryellen Burgess
Our Music Leader directs “The Alleluia Ringers” adult hand bell choir as well as the Youth hand bells/hand chimes and the Djembe drums program.
Music Director - Kathryn Colantonio
Our Music Director is the organist and Adult, Youth, and Cherub choir director.
A note from our Music Director:
I would like to introduce myself, as the new Music Director here at Trinity United Church. I have had the great pleasure of participating in events here at the church such as "Amahl", Christmas presentations and most recently the Vacation Bible Camp last summer.
My background includes grade 9 voice and piano with the Royal Conservatory of Music, a B.A. from University of Western Ontario in Administrative & Commercial studies, and have just graduated from Niagara University with my teaching certification for Primary/Junior (grades K-6).
I look forward to serving you here at Trinity and invite you and your family to consider joining any of our music ministries. I especially would like youth and teens to find this church as a place where they can feel comfortable to share themselves, and their talents. I am a mother of two grown children and have a special place in my heart for all children and youth. We have a set of "Pearl" drums available for loan to the church. If there is someone who has training and would like to help contribute to the music ministries in this way, please contact me at 705-446-2739.
You have a lovely sanctuary, devoted congregation, and many groups who contribute to the life and vitality of this church. I commit to helping develop the joy and belongingness that Jesus, our Lord wants us all to feel.
Blessings to you!
Kathryn Colantonio
