Music
and Dance at UUSIC
Music
Fine music is a longstanding UUSIC tradition, whether presented by our choir,
soloists or small ensembles from this musically-talented community, visiting
artists, or our own members—including several of our young people each
year.
Choir.
The UUSIC choir performs the musical meditation for services one Sunday each month, and responses on other selected Sundays. New members are always welcome – we have no auditions.
We rehearse Thursdays from 7:15 PM - 8:30 PM in the Sanctuary – feel free to join in!
If you have questions, please contact
our music director, Barbara Buddin by phone (339-7432) or
email.
In addition to the UUSIC choir, each Sunday service includes
special music, which ranges from traditional to classical to jazz and
folk, performed by local artists and society members. Other opportunities
for musical expression are also available during the month.
Dances
of Universal Peace
On the
second Sunday of each month,
September through May, members and friends gather at 6:30 PM in Channing Hall for
Dances of Universal Peace --
simple folk dance movements, practiced in combination
with chanting or singing of sacred words and phrases from the world’s
spiritual traditions.
Dance circles have spread around the world through the
efforts of the Peaceworks International Network, celebrating both the unity
and diversity of all beings, and
fostering connections between people.
No experience is needed, instruction is provided by
Virginia
Melroy, a supervised teacher of the Dances.
Drum Circle
The
Yahoo Drummers meet the first Wednesday of each month in Channing Hall at 7 PM for an inclusive, fun, and rhythmic community of all styles and stripes. Bring your own instrument, or use available cow bells, Native American prayer drum, Latin conga – you’ll find room for your song!

gatherings -- all are invited!
