Calling all singers, The Sun Lakes Jewish Congregation Choir needs you.
Come make a joyful noise. As the choir has aged, several members have retired because of age, illness, and moving. In order to maintain the quality of music that we provide, we need new members. We love to sing and have a good time. You do not need to be Jewish to join, only enjoy our music. All voice parts are needed. We meet Tuesday afternoons at 3:00 in the Chapel Center and sing until 4:30 or 5:00. We perform at the Sun Lakes Jewish Congregation services the second Friday of each month September through May. Please contact Lana Oyer at lanasings2@aol.com or (602) 524 5936 for more information.
Lana Oyer has been choir director since 1991 when she took over from Ralph Persinger with 6 members in the choir. Today the choir has at least 25 members when all are present.
The choir performs at Services the 2nd Friday of each month excluding July and August. They also sing for the High
Holidays.
Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays at the Sun Lakes Chapel Center next to the Chapel. Time is 3:00-4:30PM.
We have choir members who have been with us for over 20 years!!
Lana would love to have you join. You can call her at 602-524-5936.
Jeanette Cline
Jeanette is originally from
Northwest Ohio, but in 1963 she and her husband moved to Arizona. Prior to
moving from Tempe to Sun Lakes 2010, Mrs. Cline was an educator in the Tempe
Schools for 30 years. She was also a piano, organ, keyboard, and cello
instructor with the Cline Music Studio. Jeanette has served many years as a
church musician, playing organ or piano or in choral directing. For several
years Jeanette attended the International Music Workshop's Piano Division in
Austria, Norway, France, Australia, Scotland and Hawaii.
Jeanette Cline has been very
musically involved in the Sun Lakes community. She is director/arranger for
the Keyboard Connection, a group of 12 playing piano keyboards in
ensemble-that may be the likes of a Caribbean band or a string orchestra.
She also sings in the Sun Lakes Chorale and is presently board president for
that group. Jeanette is music coordinator for the Sun Lakes Women's
Connection and is accompanist for various musicians.
In the fall of 2021, she was in
concert with duo piano keyboards at the Oakwood Ballroom. Mrs. Cline was
music director and keyboardist for the Sun Lakes Theater Broadway show,
CHARLIE BROWN, in early 2020. You may also hear her playing background music
for some community luncheon or event.
She and her husband, Gene, enjoy all things musical. They
love to travel. And in her spare time Jeanette loves to have tea luncheons.
The Clines have two daughters, one who lives in England and one who recently
moved from out-of-state to the community. They also have six grandchildren
living in England or various US states.
