In September, 2001, Corinth welcomed our new Music Director/Organist, Dr. Peter Corneliussen. He came to Corinth after twelve years at Miami Shores Presbyterian Church in Miami, FL. Peter is a composer and has produced several original musical dramas both here and for his church in Florida. He and his wife, Lisa, have two young sons, Garrett and Shane.

The Children's Choir is offered for children grades 1-5. In this fun choir, children sing all types of songs and even play rhythm instruments. They sing/play regularly in Sunday worship services and Family night suppers. This choir is directed by volunteer Carol Vaughan. They meet on Wednesdays at 5:00 pm in the Sunday School Opening Room.
The Frances Geitner Davidson Memorial Handbell Choir: 6th grade - Adult. We now play all three octaves of Mallmark Handbells which the church owns. Continuing interest in the choir might call for purchase of more bells or creation of new choirs. This choir always punctuates every worship service in which they play with a unique sound experience. They meet on Sundays after church or during the SS hour.
The Chancel Choir is offered for all singing adults. These dedicated servants lead singing every week at the 11:00 a.m. worship service. They sing unison, 2, 3, and 4-part music usually at the anthem time. They also provide special Calls to Worship, Psalms, Responses, Offertories, and Benediction Responses. With varying ability levels and time commitments, we are always looking for new members to join this dynamic group. We try to gather every quarter for a time of fellowship. Won't you join us? The Chancel Choir meets on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm in the Choir Room.
Open to anyone who plays a brass instrument. They meet as needed.
The organist provides service music, choir accompaniment, and wedding/funeral playing on the church's Möller organ and Yamaha grand piano.
The music staff works together with Pastor Thompson and the Music Committee: Mary Berry, Tom Long, Clem Geitner, William Hall, Sara Isenhour, and Hamp Shuford to help Corinth worship through song.
