The Music Committee

Music at UUFSB

Unicorn Singers Choir for senior high students through adults. Everyone invited – experienced choristers or those who have never sung in a choir before. Rehearsals are held every Wednesday evening, 8:00 – 9:00 pm (sharp!!). Choir sings at Sunday services about once a month, depending on worship service plans.

For more information contact Janet Hanson janhanson@juno.com

 UUFSB Folk Group Come all you music-loving singers and instrumentalists.  We perform at Sunday services and rehearse at convenient times starting about three weeks before scheduled performances.  If you “sign up” to be in the folk group, you’ll be notified of upcoming performances and you can choose which ones fit into your schedule.  No long-term commitments required!

For further information contact Jason Straub or Tom Pelletier at music@uufsb.org.

Children’s Choir Rehearsals occur during Religious Education time on Sunday mornings, with extra rehearsals before special performances. Sometimes we sing by ourselves, other times with the Folk Group or with the Unicorn Singers and sometimes with combined community children’s choirs. Never a dull moment!

For further information contact Katie Leesha at music@uufsb.org.

Accompanists Members take turns accompanying Congregation hymn singing at Sunday morning services. If you can help increase our rotating ‘crew’ of Sunday Service pianists, please join us for scheduling at the next Music Committee Meeting.  Or, if you don’t want to wait, email Joan Rubinstein, at joaner@optonline.net or music@uufsb.org.

Solo and Small Group Performing Calling all Instrumentalists and Vocalists Our congregation is lucky and blessed to have so many talented and generous musicians, both amateur and professional, that almost all the music for our worship provided by our own members, gratis. In addition to hymns, our services usually include a prelude, offertory and postlude and occasionally include other musical offerings. Volunteer opportunities also abound in many other aspects of Fellowship life, for every musical style, level of ability and all ages. Join the Music Committee to be sure to find out about upcoming events and to sign up to perform at services.

Contact Joan Rubinstein, at joaner@optonline.net or music@uufsb.org for more information.

 

Music Committee

The Music Committee usually meets three times per year - early Fall, mid Winter and late Spring - mainly to schedule musicians for upcoming worship services. At the meeting, you can volunteer for certain dates to either play solo, perform in a group or to be responsible for putting together the music.  If you’re not yet ready for that, you can join up with another group. It’s a great place for meeting other musicians and making new friends. In addition to scheduling, we sometimes discuss other topics, for instance if the Board requires our input.  In between meetings we communicate via email list to discuss special musical needs.  If you’re interested in music at the Fellowship, please join the Music Committee.  It will keep you informed, without obligation.
