"God does not call the qualified; He qualifies the called"
The Central Texas Master Singers is a choir with a purpose - a place for singers from all walks of life who have a musical gift whether formerly/professionally trained or not. It is a place for those who love to sing Christian contemporary choral music and who want to share it collectively with the spiritually likeminded. We are a multi-denominational group of singers brought together with a purpose: "To enhance the musical experience within the church universal, with excellence and enthusiasm, by profoundly expressing God's Word in the contemporary choral setting."
Modeled after the Dr. Gary Bonner Singers (www.BonnerMusic.com) of Southern California and The Colorado Choir (www.ColoradoChoir.com), the Central Texas Master Singers hopes to capture the hearts and souls in the communities it serves, through song, by seeking to simultaneously create a divinely inspired spiritual and musical experience.
PURPOSE
To enhance the musical experience within the church universal, with excellence and enthusiasm, by profoundly expressing God's Word in the contemporary choral setting.
REPERTOIRE
The choir will perform modern day, contemporary works written and orchestrated by modern composers such as Mark Hayes, Joseph Martin, Jay Althouse, Pepper Choplin, Glenn Picket, Tom Fettke, Cindy Berry, Natalie Sleeth and much more.
THE SINGERS, EXPECTATIONS & COMMITMENT
Singers will perform on a regular basis in various church venues within the Central Texas Region (Bell County and surrounding areas), rehearse weekly and will pursue excellence in sound and musicianship. The choir will be made up of Christian singers of varying denominations and will perform piano accompanied music and some acapella forms. Singers will be from all faiths, denominations and belief systems of the Christian mindset.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
In time, the Central Texas Master Singers will seek recognition in the Central Texas region as a non-profit pass through organization, helping to raise funds through free concerts, seasonal ticketed concerts, and donations in support of regional micro-ministries. Such organizations will include the Belton Christian Youth Center and Helping Hands Ministry to name a few as well as others.
Those interested can express their interest in participating in the choir by emailing the "...Singers" at CentralTexasMasterSingers@earthlink.net or joining the Central Texas Master Singers group page on Facebook.com.
