Music This Month
In May, we celebrate the many gifts of our musical congregation! This month is the last regular month for the Sanctuary Choir, as they go on “summer break” beginning in June (but start the month with the summer “Drop-in Choir” June 7).
Big accolades to the Choir and Director André, for leading us through Lent and Eastertide. The music (and musicianship!) was captivating and set the tone.
Also, many thanks to our sweet Children’s Choir, organized and led by Family Minister Dana, along with percussionist David Darby, for bringing their spirit of joy and collaboration to make the Easter service so special. Kudos also to the multi-talented Jack and Sasha Smucker, and Jace Gordon (and mom Angela!), who played wonderfully the Sunday afterEaster.
May continues to bring beautiful musical moments, including Mozart’s “Laudate Dominum” featuring the Sanctuary Choir and Santa Fe Soprano extraordinaire, Jennifer Perez, on May 3. Anthems by John Rutter, Thomas Tallis, and Moses Hogan round out the musical offerings as we make our way to Pentecost. It will be a wonderful end to the choir season, and we can’t wait to share it with you all!
Musically yours,
Michelle
As People of faith, we’re called to “make a joyful noise,” and we try our best to do just that at United. Reach out to our music staff, and join in!
If you play an instrument, whatever your age, then please let Music Director Michelle Schumann know here. Music at United is played not only on the Steinway Piano in the Sanctuary, but also on drums, violins, guitars, trumpets, and lots of other instruments, too.
