Summer Sings at First Unitarian

First Unitarian Church of Worcester will be holding four Summer Sings, on every Thursday in June from 7-9pm in our sanctuary. At these informal and musically rewarding events, choral singers from Worcester and beyond are invited to show up, grab a score that will be provided, and sing through a famous choral masterwork together. June 5 will be the Mozart Requiem; June 12 will be the Fauré Requiem with guest conductor Dr. Joshua Rohde; June 19 will be selections from Credo, The Ballad of the Brown King, and other works by Margaret Bonds; and June 26 will be Vivaldi’s Gloria.

Dr. Allegra Martin, Music Director at First Unitarian, will be directing three of the four summer sings. Pianist Matthew Jaskot, who is a faculty member of the music department at the College of the Holy Cross, will be playing for the first two sings, and James Haupt, the Assistant Music Director at First Unitarian, will be playing for the second two sings. All sings are free and open to the public; donations will be gratefully accepted. Our June 19 concert will feature special guests Hildegard Publishing, a Worcester-based music publisher focused on works by women composers, who will share a never-before-seen composition by African American composer Margaret Bonds, which is slated for publication later this year.

First Unitarian Church is located at 90 Main St, Worcester, MA. Parking is available in the church parking lots on State St. Our accessible entrance is located on the side of our building off the lower State St. parking lot.
