Riveroaks Orchestra
Sanctuary Orchestra
The Full Orchestra accompanies the congregational hymns 
two Sunday mornings per month year round and (additionally) one Sunday evening from September through May. In addition, the orchestra is scheduled to play 2 preludes and accompany the Christmas and Easter cantatas (as needed). Members of the orchestra, as soloists or as ensembles, also accompany specific Choir pieces. In addition to Sundays, the orchestra rehearses one Saturday each month, September through May, and participates in the closing concert of favorites in May. As with the Choir and Handbell Choir, members of Riveroaks are welcome to join. Please see Terry Himebook. Friends of Riveroaks are able to join, but a viable profession of faith is required.
