The Resurrection Orchestra performs each Sunday during the 11 am worship service, as well as many other special services and events including one of Kansas City’s best holiday traditions, Christmas at Resurrection. Participating in the orchestra is a great way to meet new people while using your musical talents to serve God, our church, and our community. We are the featured ensemble on the preludes and postludes for the 11am traditional worship service. During the service, we accompany the Resurrection Choir on their choral anthems, as well as the hymns that are sung with the congregation.

Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from August through May, from 7 – 8:30 pm in the Leawood Sanctuary.
