Chalice Choir
Our 40-member Chalice Choir provides an opportunity for individuals to develop their musical talents and to contribute to our church life in a significant way. Open to singers from high school age on, the Choir sings fine choral music from a variety of cultures and musical styles, which helps deepen the worship experience and challenge the singer. The Chalice Choir usually sings at both Sunday Services twice a month, as well as in outreach performances in the larger community. Annual highlights include the December Service of Music, often with soloists and instrumental accompaniment, and the Festival Music Sunday in May, which includes all of First Church’s musical groups. Other special events have included performances with the New City Sinfonia, and participation in the District-wide UU Choral Festivals. The Chalice Choir rehearses September through June on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8:40 pm. Interested singers are encouraged to "try a semester" by joining in September or January, or to visit a rehearsal anytime.
Women's Choir
This ensemble rehearses weekly to perform four-part sacred and secular music for treble voices in worship and community outreach. We rehearse on Thursdays at 7 pm on the Hillcrest campus in the Chapel.
