    On Sunday July 13, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association will present the 60th Annual Ocean Grove Choir Festival in the Great Auditorium on Pilgrim Pathway.  Since its debut in 1955, the Annual Choir Festival remains one of the premiere sacred music events of the Mid-Atlantic region.

Under the baton of Dr. Jason C. Tramm, Director of the Festival, some of the most renowned choral composers and conductors in the Church today will lead the Festival Chorus in song as voices are raised to the glory of God in twelve (12) beautiful anthems.

World renowned composer Joseph M. Martin will conduct his commissioned anthem, Wonderful Words of Life, in addition to his triumphant composition, Our God Is God.  Thomas Juneau will conduct his commissioned anthem, Canticle of Salvation and Dr. Thomas Berdos will present his commissioned work for Brass.  Conductors Dr. Craig Arnold, Dr. Thomas Berdos, Dr. Cindy Bell, Christine Bass and Jack Hill will also take the podium to lead over 1000 choristers in beloved sacred anthems.
