Women's Ensemble

The Women’s Ensemble is made up of women of all ages and sings music from a variety of styles. The group rehearses Thursday evenings from 6:30-7:15 p.m. in the Small Rehearsal Room and sings every three weeks at the 8:30 worship service. Like all choirs at PCTR, the Women’s Ensemble goes beyond the notes in their music to learn the truths behind the texts, providing greater meaning to each song.
