Grand Rapids Youth Choruses

10/16/2026

We are so excited for our upcoming concert this Sunday! Free admission!

🎶 Last but definitely not least, the choir performing on Sunday is our very own FSC Adult Choir and will join the stage with Grand Rapids Youth Choruses and Choral Connection.

Fountain Street Church Adult Choir: A Legacy Since 1897

What began as a professional quartet in 1897 became a full chorus in 1898—and more than a century later, the FSC Adult Choir continues to enrich worship with music that spans classical masterworks, jazz, folk, and powerful contemporary works. From Bach and Mozart to Romantic greats like Brahms, Verdi, and Fauré - and onward to Bernstein’s Mass, and from Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard to Hagenberg’s Illuminare, and works by Asian composers like Palaruan and Feliciano, the choir brings artistic excellence and meaningful voices together. Today, under the direction of Dr. Emmanuel de Leon and with collaborative pianist Todd Wilkie, this intergenerational choir bridges Western and Eastern traditions, honoring the past while embracing new and diverse musical voices.

This is a family-friendly concert; bring your family with you and invite a friend or two! Your donations help us continue bringing artists and musicians into our community. Please keep supporting us by watching, and if you’re able, consider donating. See you on Sunday, October 18 | 3 PM | Fountain Street Church!
