Music This Month
Happy Spring, music lovers at United!
The Sanctuary Choir is preparing for an inspiring Holy Week and Easter Sunday, and we can’t wait to share it with you. The 7:00 pm Maundy Thursday (April 2) includes Mozart’s exquisite Ave Verum Corpus. In the Good Friday Noon service, Javier Ortiz offers a stirring rendition of Were You There?
The 10:00 Easter Sunday service includes trumpeter Tyler Fries, along with the Sanctuary Choir’s offering of “The Angel Rolled the Stone” and our annual congregational singing of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. It’ll be a celebratory service, indeed… and you are very welcome to sing along through it all!
The Sunday after Easter, we continue the celebration by featuring some of United’s wonderful youth musicians, including Sasha and Jack Smucker on violin and cello (joined by me, on piano). It’ll be a glorious month in the musical life of the church, and we look forward to sharing it all with you!
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.
