Adult Choir
Our adult choir rehearses on Thursdays from 5:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and on Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 10:25. Led by Music Director Marcia Hempel, the choir sings everything from sacred church anthems to folk music and African and Jewish music. The choir also sings in our Noonday Concert Series (half-hour concerts every Thursday during July and August).
Youth Choir
The Youth Choir practices for 15-20 minutes immediately after the Sunday morning worship service, while adults are enjoying their coffee and refreshments.
Noonday Concerts
A highlight of summers on Nantucket is the tradition of Thursday Noonday Concerts, at the Unitarian Meeting House on Orange Street. This year music director Marcia Hempel has lined up an exciting seven-week series featuring the island’s best musicians. From the doo wop of the Cobbletones to Matthew Hutchinson's jazz piano, and Marcia herself on the famous 1831 Goodrich organ, this is the midweek, midday break everyone looks forward to.
