Chalice Horn Choir

French horn players of all playing levels are invited to attend music reading sessions on the second Wednesday of each month, from 7:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. at UUCC.  The Horn Choir plays for occasional Sunday services and other events.  Music for duets up to full horn choir is provided, and players are also invited to bring their own horn ensemble music.  Professional leadership is provided by hornist Mary Bisson and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, who both plays and conducts, and by hornist Nancy Corporon, retired from a distinguished professional career in Chicago and New York.  For more information, or to attend a music reading session, contact Nancy Corporon.

Chalice Ringers

Hand chimes are for everyone!  The Chalice Ringers are a multigenerational hand chimes choir for youth and adults with an interest in collective music-making.  Musical experience is helpful, but not necessary.  The Ringers perform in services about once a month between September and May.  New members are always welcome.  Rehearsals are Monday evenings from 7:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. and before services at which the Chalice Ringers perform.  For more information, or to participate, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
