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
It’s been a terrific year for the Music ministry at United, and June brings a well-deserved break for the Sanctuary Choir. Many thanks to all the choir members who’ve put in countless hours to bring beautiful and moving musical worship experiences in the 10:00 service!
Summer brings opportunities for anyone at United to have a choral experience during our monthly Drop-In Choir Sundays. June 7 marks the first of the season, when we’ll prepare for the 10:00 am service with an energetic 45-min rehearsal at 9:00 am. Save the dates for the other Drop-in Choir services on July 12 and August 9!
June also features some special guests during worship services. On Sunday, June 21, we’re delighted to welcome the 30-voice Matins Youth Choir from Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ from Ames, Iowa to help lead worship. On June 21 and 28, we also welcome back Jacquelyn Helin as pianist when I am on vacation.
Stay tuned for guest appearances by the Santa Fe Opera Apprentices, who will be sprinkled throughout June, July, and August. As always, I’m looking forward to ever-deepening our worship experiences with transformative and engaging music!

Musically yours,

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.
