Antioch
Calvary's “Vocal Ensemble in Residence,” Antioch, is an eleven-member ensemble will be rehearsing at Calvary and presenting four concerts per year on its own series. This group was formerly headquartered at Trinity Church, Wall Street. After the tragedy of 9/11, when Trinity Church was shut down for several months, they asked permission to move, temporarily, to Calvary for rehearsals. They were warmly welcomed at Calvary, and they soon asked permission to become a resident ensemble here. The vestry was very agreeable, as was the organist/choirmaster. Music Sample

Antioch has performed at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, and is becoming widely known as an outstanding group of singers. They will use the Calvary name on their website and publicity, and in turn Calvary will benefit from the exposure given to the church by the increasing fame of Antioch. One of Calvary’s professional soloists is a member of Antioch, and other of their members have performed on the Calvary Chorale Series. They are in the process of recording a CD of Christmas music, have acquired an agent, and plan to increase their exposure and performance venues.
