Music and choirs

Music is a vital part of our Sunday services and community life at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Birmingham. From our spirited adult choir to our joyful children’s ensembles, music connects us, inspires us, and helps express the many voices of our congregation.

Adult Choir
Our adult choir offers special music at the 10:00 a.m. service two Sundays each month, from September through May. The choir shares a wide variety of musical styles—from classical and contemporary to folk and global traditions—under the direction of our Choir Director, Sheri Melcher. Rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings from 7:00–8:30 p.m., and new folks are always welcome to come give it a try! No audition necessary.

Instrumentalists and Guest Musicians
We warmly welcome instrumentalists and guest musicians to share their gifts during Sunday services and special events. Whether you play piano, guitar, strings, winds, or another instrument, your music adds richness and variety to our worship experience. To learn more about offering special music, contact Sheri Melcher at sheri@uucb.org.

MUUsicShare
MUUsicShare brings UUCB’s music beyond our walls, sharing joy and connection through visits to local assisted living centers and nursing homes. The group also contributes to special services throughout the year.Interested in joining MUUsicShare? Please contact the Church Office.

Children and Youth Choirs
The Flames of Harmony, UUCB’s children’s choir, have resumed regular rehearsals – 9am-9:40am in the Children’s Choir Room. All children, K-8th Grade, are invited and encouraged to participate. A Youth Choir for older teens is also in development—stay tuned for more details!
