First Universalist Choir

New members are always welcome. Please introduce yourself to our director, Janice Hunton, or another member of the choir.

Rehearsals are every Wednesday evening from 7:00 to about 9:00

Warm-ups begin promptly at 7:00
The first half of the rehearsal is typically devoted to music for the upcoming Sunday; the second half (after a break) for music to be presented later

The choir sings at the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services an average of twice a month (with summers off).

On Sundays when we sing, we usually assemble by 8:15 a.m. to warm up and review the music for that morning

We sing a much wider repertoire than most churches--early, modern, sacred, secular, "world", English-language, foreign-language.

We all have our likes and dislikes, but the director seeks to balance all styles and provide opportunities for even experienced singers to learn and grow
The selection of music is the responsibility of the director, though she values the opinions of the choir in choosing pieces

Singing in the choir involves both giving and getting

Together, we make an artistic contribution to Sunday services
The goal is not to match professional concert choirs, but to do what we can as well as we can -- and enjoy doing so within our church community
