The BUF Chalice Choir is the centerpiece of our music program. This 50-60 voice, mixed choir is open to all voices and meets from September through early June, rehearsing on Wednesdays from 6:45 pm to 8:15 pm. We perform for a Sunday morning service about twice a month, stage a big December concert and an end-of-season Choir Finale, and also sing for a few community events throughout the year. We enjoy presenting a wide range of inspirational songs including classical and world music, spirituals and contemporary arrangements.
We encourage interested singers to come try us at any time, and we promise to help you feel welcome! No previous choral experience is necessary, but we do like to stretch ourselves! We implement various schemes that allow our choir members to help each other further develop our music reading and performing skills, including vocal workshops, sectionals, retreats, a music reading buddy system and on-line rehearsal tracks. Our members tend to feel comfortable singing, loved and loving with each other, and inspired to serve the BUF community.
For more information, email choir director, Ben Workman Smith.
Special Music
Volunteers are needed to perform Special Music. Please let Ben know if you are interested in providing instrumental or vocal special music at anytime, and especially for Sunday mornings when there is no choir.
