Arts at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston
MUSIC
There are many opportunities to experience and perform music at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston during Sunday services, special occasions, and events. Members and friends are encouraged to share their musical gifts by presenting special music collaboratively or as soloists during services throughout the year.
Sanctuary Choir
If you love to sing, join our choir. Enjoy learning choral music from various composers, genres, styles, and languages. The volunteer choir welcomes singers of all ages and abilities and does not require an audition to participate. The choir sings three Sundays per month.
Choir rehearsals are scheduled from August through May,
beginning July 31, 2024 on Wednesdays 7:00 – 8:30 pm in the Choir Room on the 3rd floor.

Several members share their gifts as soloists and in small ensembles.
The First UU Instrumental Ensemble coordinated by Chelsea de Souza, meets occasionally per event and shares music bi-monthly during Sunday services.
The String Band shares music during Sunday services bi-monthly. They meet three Sundays per month between services and one weeknight once per month at a member's home.
