We are very pleased to announce a new musical opportunity for people who love to sing or perform an instrument in an informal setting. The group meets after Sunday services in the Choir area of the Sanctuary.
Susan is calling the group the "Chosen Family Choir" because, "although we are not all related to each other, we are choosing to celebrate music together in community."
This group is open to anybody of any age who loves to sing or perform a musical instrument together with others.
Susan has led this after-church service group for several months now, and a few new people recently joined. Last Sunday, January 25th, three children under the age of 10 and four adults sang and played musical instruments.
The benefits of this choir are:
- You don't have to attend every week.
- There are no performance expectations; we just sing to have fun.
- You don't have to know how to read music.
- The meet-up is right after church so you won't need to make a special trip another evening during the week for a more formal rehearsal like Choir or Drummers and Strummers.
Here is a link to one of the songs we sang last week during our meet-up: https://songsforthegreatturning.net/going-forth/we-shall-be-known-by-the-company-we-keep/
If you are interested in joining the "Chosen Family Choir," visit us in the Sanctuary after a church service, or contact Susan Shaw or Steve Morihiro at MusicDirector@ocuuc.org.
Susan Shaw and Steve Morihiro, both longtime choir members, are the Co-Directors of Music Ministries.
