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
Music continues to play a profound role at United during the month of March as we experience Lent together and look forward with anticipation to Easter. The choir will feature beloved choral arrangements by John Rutter (I Will Lift Up My Eyes), Felix Mendelssohn (O Come, Every One that Thirsteth), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Ave Verum Corpus) and Moses Hogan (I Want Jesus to Walk with Me). We also welcome trumpeter Alexander Hardin for our Palm Sunday and Maundy Thursday services.
After many years as a Choral Scholar, Rebecca Brunette is stepping down. We will miss her and wish her Godspeed for the next stage of her journey of life and faith.
As always André, the choir, and I present music to inspire and set the stage for the many emotional opportunities that scripture provides. This season we also celebrate some new members of the choir and wonder if there might be some of you in the congregation who are also considering joining? If so, let me or André know!
Musically yours,
Musically yours,
Michelle Schumann
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.
