Open to anyone aged 14 and up, with or without experience, the model enables local amateur singers to perform extraordinary repertoire in fine venues within and around the Somerset Hills region of New Jersey. Since its founding in 2010, the SHC has given a number of concerts under the artistic direction of Stephen Sands.

The Chancel Choir is open to high school students and adults who seek to make excellent music in a safe space for all. The Choir rehearses on Wednesdays from 7:30pm to 9:00pm and on Sundays from 9:00am to 9:40am in the Sanctuary of the Presbyterian Church on the Green at 57 E. Park Place.
