Music Matters, January 2018

In addition to beautiful music during services there are some special events coming in January. The first one is part of the ongoing series celebrating song; SongFests are performance of classical and popular songs from centuries past and from today. And we will have auditions for our production of the great musical Cabaret, set in pre-World War II Germany. Full of famous and beloved songs like “Money, Money,” “Wilkommen,” “Maybe This Time,” and the title song, it also has a great deal to say about life as a dangerous regime takes control. The show opens May 4 at UUCB.

SongFest – January 7, Sunday, 1–2 pm in the Sanctuary: A short program of songs of all styles and shapes, interesting, funny, lovely songs.  It’s free and uplifting.

Auditions for Cabaret, the musical  – January 13, Saturday, and January 14, Sunday, 3–5 pm in the Social Hall:  Open auditions for production of this great musical  UUCB in May; please prepare one minute of a song in English (any style) and expect to be asked to do a cold reading. To schedule an audition on January 13 or 14 please email me.

Chocolate! Chocolate and Love Songs together again the first weekend in February.  Mmmmm.

Yours in harmony,

Bryan
