Our Adult Choir holds weekly rehearsals (Wednesday evening) during the
program year, and performances one Sunday a month (usually the first
Sunday, with a single service). Experience is welcome, but not
necessary.
We occasionally have a "One Hour Choir" opportunity for those who can't
commit to regular rehearsal, and invite singers to join the rest of the
choir for one of their songs, with a single Sunday morning rehearsal,
followed by the performance.
Soloists or small groups are invited to volunteer for Sunday mornings or
special occasions. See "Instrumental Musicians" below.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSICIANS
Charlotte Tompkins (322-2467, or
) coordinates
volunteers and guests for Sunday mornings, playing the piano or other
instruments for incidental music (Prelude, Meditation, Offertory), and
to accompany congregational singing.
The choir has occasional performances that include accompaniment with
other instruments (flute, strings, percussion, etc.)
(We have a small budget for honoraria for non-member guest musicians,
and we ask for the gift of members' and friends' musical
contributions.)
MUSIC COMMITTEE
The Music Committee provides oversight for music at BUUF, coordinates
with the Sunday Services committee and other events, manages hiring and
review of our paid staff (currently the Choir Director, and our choir
accompanist), and the budget for music. We typically meet once a month,
with additional communication by email.
The current committee chair is Tom von Alten; contact him at 378-1217, or
