The Music Ministry at Dunmore helps us worship the Lord through performing and singing. To help aid in our singing Dunmore Methodist is home to one of the finest pipe organs in the region. The pipe organ in the sanctuary was installed by the Casavant Organ Firm based in Quebec, Canada. The organ holds 1,596 pipes housed in two seperate chambers on either side of the choir loft. The pipes are playable over a 3 manual console and standard pedal board. Our church also owns a set of handbells for use during Christmas and Easter time. And least we not forget out sanctuary choir. Our rehearsals are on Thurs evenings 6:30-7:30pm (We do not meet every Thurs. Please check back to this page for updates) Rehearsals Thurs Nov 20th, Thurs. Dec 4th
Our music ministry gets very exciting in the summer months. Starting on the first Sunday of June every year, our summer music series starts, featuring guest musicians. They perform some selections before and during that week's church service. The series commences toward the middle of August. We have had featured musicians that have studied at Marywood University, Duquesne University, Mansfield University, The Julliard School of Music, and the Eastman School of Music to name a few. We also try to host a major concert every year featuring choral or instrumental music. In 2008, we hosted the Marywood University Chamber Singers and chamber ensemble, and the Singing Boys Choir of PA. We will also host organist Mary Copeley to dedicate our restored pipe organ on Nov. 23rd at 2pm.
