St. John’s Adult Choir

The St. John's Unitarian Universalist Church Adult Choir sings three of four Sundays each month from early September to mid-June. Our musical selections amplify and complement the varied sermon topics provided by the Minister and the Worship & Liturgy committee. Rehearsals are Thursday nights from 7:15 - 9:30 and Sunday mornings before the service.

In this choral community, we have fun, we work hard, and together we make good music happen. We are serious in our music making and are unafraid to take risks. We find joy in singing a varied and challenging repertoire that includes classical music from the Medieval to Contemporary style periods, and music from diverse ethnic traditions, in original languages. We strive always, with music from all traditions, to learn the works in their cultural context. Music is a functional art, and we feel it is immeasurably important to understand where the music comes from. Whenever we can, we make connections with the many talented artists from in and around Cincinnati.

Choral music is a powerful medium that enables singers to comprehend and experience culture. Singing can provide an entryway and open the doors of perception into other cosmologies. This is such an exciting way to learn about people, how they think, and feel, and live.

Voices of Variety

Since 1996, the children's choir, Voices of Variety, have presented an annual holiday concert and also sung on various occasions throughout the church year. St. John's youth often perform during the church services and on special youth Sundays. Cultivating youth musicians is an important aspect of the overall music program at St. John's.
