“Above the tumult and the strife,

I hear the music ringing.

It sounds an echo in my soul.

How can I keep from singing?”

At First Parish, music stirs our souls. Each week, we sing from the Unitarian Universalist hymnals Singing the Living Tradition and Singing the Journey as part of our worship service, accompanied by interim Music Director Ellen Powers.

During this interim period, Ellen’s musical selections at First Parish include works from the Baroque and classical eras for organ, and classical, new-age classical, and contemporary pieces for the piano. The newly-formed choir also occasionally performs.

We welcome your unique voice to join in the shared ritual of community song each Sunday at First Parish.
