We find that making music with and for our community here at Arlington Street is a central and beautiful part of our spiritual practice as Unitarian Universalists. The Arlington Street Church Choir, the foundation of our music program, sings at weekly services on Sunday at 11:00am, performing an array of challenging, evocative repertoire spanning dozens of cultures, and centuries of musical and liturgical history.
Past concerts have included Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, Mozart's Requiem (excerpts), Faure's Requiem, Duruflé's Messe 'Cum Jubilo', Poulenc's Gloria (excerpts), Stravinsky's Mass, Torke's Mass, and a variety of other, less traditional works like Dave Brubeck's The Earth is Our Mother. For a selected repertoire of the choir from 2000 - 2006, visit this page.
The choir is open to all interested singers able to make a commitment to the choir's schedule. Attendance each week is not mandatory, but members find that it's difficult to function effectively if they miss more than a quarter of the rehearsals. We rehearse on Thursdays from 7:00 - 9:00 pm in the Clarke Room on the second floor of ASC. We also meet at 9:30 am each Sunday before the service to warm-up and polish the day's music.
If you are interested in joining the Adult Choir at ASC, please contact MBuckles@ASCBoston.org, or visit us on a Thursday evening to watch a rehearsal. Feel free to stop by or speak to our Acting Music Director, Mark Buckles after the Sunday morning service to find out more about our choir and about music and worship.
