The TVUUC Music Program
Music is the breath and energy of our faith. It sustains us in good times and in bad. At TVUUC, we provide a number of ways for people, from young children to older adults, to explore their musical abilities, to experience the value of service to the church, and to feel the sense of community inherent in “making a joyful noise” together. Through the Performing Arts and Lecture Series as well as occasional worship services, we also welcome guest performers who broaden our musical experience. Our hope for the future is that we have more activities that are intergenerational, diverse and appeal to a wide range of musical tastes.
(Unless listed, rehearsal and performance times will be announced.)
Adult–All are welcome to join.
Sanctuary Choir–This involves a commitment to rehearsals once a week on Wednesday evenings, from 7.15 until 8.45, and performances for at least one service, two Sundays a month.
Chalice Singers–A smaller ensemble made up of singers from the Sanctuary Choir, this group meets an additional two times a month, on the second Monday and fourth Tuesday of each month, from 7.15 until 8:45. In addition, this group performs both services and more frequently than the Sanctuary Choir.
Festival Choir–For special programs of longer pieces, people who cannot commit to the year-long rehearsal schedule join the Sanctuary Choir for an hour on Wednesday evenings, several weeks in advance of a performance.
Early Music Ensemble–A small group in pursuit of sounds of the past, including Gregorian chant, madrigals and motets of the Renaissance, up to early American music of the 18th Century.
Unnamed Small Group–Meets and performs more contemporary, usually folk, instrumental and vocal music coordinated by the music director and minister.
