Music

Ministry

UUMC is proud of its rich tradition of outstanding music. Our choir began more than 80 years ago and continues to uplift our Sanctuary services with sacred music from a variety of genres and style periods, including world music.

Our director practices identity affirming voicing and rehearsal language, and encourages singers to choose the section that is healthiest for their vocal longevity and their gender expression. All our choirs are non-auditioned, so if you’d like help finding what part you’d like to sing, or if you’re ready for ensemble singing, get in touch! We’d love to help find the right space for you.

Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary Choir consists of adults, college-aged and beyond. This choir presents a variety of choral anthems in weekly worship, supports congregational singing, and performs two major works annually. This choir sings in services during Lent, Holy Week and Easter as well as the traditional service of Lessons & Carols held during Advent each year. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays, 7 to 8:30 pm, in the choir room on the first floor.  Come as you are!  We love adding new singers!

Wesley
Choir

Wesley Choir is for our Children and Youth. There is no minimum age, however reading skills are helpful. We learn music aurally while building our music literacy. Wesley Choir sings throughout the year, including our Lessons & Carols service. Rehearsals are scheduled ahead of performances. If you have a young singer or musician, Contact Alicia. They love to help young singers grow!

Instrumentalists are welcome!

Do you play an instrument? There’s space for you too! Talk to Alicia. They keep a list of our talented congregants and reach out when we have musical pieces that could be aided by instruments. Rehearsals are held as needed for individual performances.
