Music at United
United Church of Santa Fe - A Church of Music
The Sanctuary Choir sings each Sunday morning (from September to early June) in the 10:00 service. The choir sings everything from Gregorian chant to Gospel.
They rehearse on Wednesday evenings (7:00-9:00 PM).
If you have a love of singing and would like to learn more about this group, please call the church office at 505-988-3295 or email Music Director Michelle Schumann here!
Music This Month
As United’s new Director of Music, I’m very pleased to let you know all that is going on in our vibrant music ministry this month! It has been a little over a year since I first started playing piano at United and I’ve been so impressed with the incredible pace of our musical endeavors. I’m also very happy to let you know that Choir Director André García-Nuthmann and I are busy planning United’s future music offerings, and look forward to experiencing the coming seasons together.
Please know that I’m always interested in your thoughts about our music ministry. Are there pieces you love and that you’d like to hear? Are you interested in being involved as a singer or instrumentalist, but haven’t yet gotten involved? I invite you to reach out to me anytime!
November is a great musical month as we celebrate All Saint’s Day (one of my favorite Sundays, Nov. 2) and head into Thanksgiving. United’s annual “Thanks- Singing” Sunday is November 23, when we revel in worshipping through song. Expect some of your favorite hymns and a special opportunity to integrate the choir into the congregation!
Then Advent starts the last Sunday of November!
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.
