It provides the music for Middle Collegiate Church's Art & Soul worship at 6 PM. Music reading is very helpful, but not as important as good intonation and a keen ear for gospel music. The only rehearsals are on Sunday afternoons at 4:30, for the 6:00 PM worship (Start date 9/7) so it is essential that Singers muSt be able to work on music outside of rehearsal that will be diStributed several days in advance. Middle Collegiate Church is located in the EaSt Village at 2nd Avenue and 7th Street.  Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less
