MUSIC MINISTRY: A FAMILY WHO SERVES WITH JOY

Leading Liturgy with Joy and Spirit!
Come experience Mass with the uplifting song of our contemporary worship band. This team leads both our in person and online community of faith each week at 10:30 AM here at Saint Dennis Catholic Church in Madison, WI.
This group embraces modern ways to bring their music to life and orchestrate inspiring worship. But technology comes second to their deepest desire of uniting people with the joy of Christ at each and every worship experience they lead.

Trained singers and instrumentalists who can learn music independently are encouraged to audition. Arrangements include classic hymns to top praise and worship songs from Christian artists. This group features piano, bass, guitar, drums, and vocalists each week, and loves to include violins, organ, synths, percussion, sax, flute or other solo instrumentalists to fill out their arrangements. If you are interested in joining the team, please reach out to Andrew.Contact: Andrew Kem, Director of Liturgy at [email protected]

Queen of Apostles Choir - Voices united, Praising God!
Our Queen of Apostles Choir sings weekly at our either Saint Dennis (8:30AM Mass) or St. Peter (9:00AM Mass) starting after Labor Day in September through Corpus Christi Sunday in June. They regularly use SATB choral music from chant to contemporary works. While music reading is very helpful, it is not required for this group's members who rehearse weekly on Thursday evenings to cover Sunday's music as well as prepare for many liturgies ahead.
If you are interested in participating in this choir and would like to learn more, please reach out to our co-directors Brandon Reda at [email protected] and Deb Scalissi at [email protected] or reach out to our program director below.Contact: Andrew Kem, Director of Liturgy at [email protected]

Supporting Liturgical Song with Beauty
Cantors and Instrumentalists add life and energy to music and support the song of the people. They help set the tone for the liturgy and encourage active participation. Cantors may be heard as soloists among the various musical groups or may be lead us in song for a weekend or holy day Mass. These trained singers learn and prepare their music independently. If you are interested to audition to become a cantor or would like additional information, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
