Music

Music is an integral part of life at Main Line Unitarian Church. From worship to social gatherings, it's a part of just about everything that happens here.
Music at our Sunday services draws from many sources, ranging from traditional classical music to jazz, folk, world music, klezmer, and rock. We have the joy and privilege to enjoy musical offerings from talented members of our congregation as well as guest professional musicians from the local community, as well as faculty and students from area colleges and universities. Our music program was led for 27 years by our beloved Music Director, Dr. Vincent Craig, who passed away in 2023. We remain grateful for his leadership and he is deeply missed. 

The Adult Choir sings on two Sundays each month from September through mid-June, with rehearsals on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Meeting Room.

Each year Music Sunday features the choir, with orchestral accompaniment, in a large-scale work. In recent years for this occasion the choir has performed music by Antonio Vivaldi, Henry Purcell, and Franz Schubert.

Our Multigenerational Choir, which features church members of all ages, also sings a few times each year. Like the Men’s Choir, they rehearse in advance of these performances, not year-round. The Multigenerational Choir rehearses on Sundays after the service.

Betsy’s Bells, our multigenerational handbell choir, usually performs at our 4:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service and on other occasions. No previous experience is necessary, only the ability to read music.

Special Music is shared during services
