Matins Choir & Youth Ensembles

Matins Choir & Youth Ensembles

Our Matins Choir has been a flagship program for Plymouth Church since 1955. We welcome high school teens regardless of singing ability or religious affiliation. Our name echoes the Latin word for morning prayers, or the liturgical service used for early morning worship, and we provide music leadership at the 9 a.m. worship service each Sunday during the school year. In addition, Matins Choir tours annually in June. At Plymouth, the Matins tradition encompasses music, spirit, fellowship and service, all in the “never ending circle of Matins.”
