News from the MUSIC VISIONING TEAM 2023

Changes are coming to First Unitarian music programs. Stefan Schneider will be retiring from his position as co-leader of Crescendo Choir, and leader of Joyful Noise Band in June.

What do YOU want to hear and see in the church’s music programs next Fall? We want to hear from you!

  • Complete a short on-line survey telling us what you like about the church’s music programs and what you’d like to see change. Paper surveys also will be available soon in Wente Hall after Sunday services.
  • Attend a zoom Music Visioning Listening Circle in January 2023 to share your thoughts and ideas about the church’s music programs. There are three possible dates for you to attend. Zoom links will be shared in January.
    Monday January 9th at 10:30 – 11:30 am – open to all
    Thursday January 12th at 7:00 – 8:00 pm – open to all
    Monday January 16th at 7:00 – 8:00 pm – Crescendo Choir and Joyful Noise Band members

The Music Visioning Team welcomes new members Dick Bailey, Sherry Weston-Vigil, and Claudine Tong. The team will gather and collate survey responses and Listening Circle thoughts/ideas. In March we will submit a report to the Board of Trustees and Reverend Soto with recommendations for the church’s Fall 2023 Music Programs.
