Music at UCM serves both to enhance the experience of worship and to build and strengthen community. We hope through music to lift up and reflect the diversity of our congregation, local and world communities.

Choral music from our 20-25 member UCM choir in a broad array of styles, and exquisite keyboard offerings from our pianist/organist Eliza Thomas are regular features of worship services. Guest musicians of all ages and genres, both from within the congregation and from the larger community also regularly contribute to our worship services. If you have musical gifts to share, please contact Director of Music Donia Prince to see how we might work together! We are particularly interested right now in finding percussionists and guitar players who could help support congregational singing.

Our sanctuary, with its excellent acoustics, beautiful Yamaha grand piano, and historic 1866 Stevens Brothers tracker organ, is a sought-after concert venue for both local and international musicians and performing groups. After 2 years of being closed due to the pandemic, and with a newly installed state-of-the-art air filtration system, we are excited to be host once again to concerts from such Central Vermont cultural mainstays as the Capital City Concerts, Onion River Chorus, Montpelier Community Gospel Choir, Montpelier Chamber Orchestra, and Scragg Mountain Music.

The beginning of the 2022-23 church year will also see the finishing touches put on our new Audio/Visual capacity. Not only will this enable us to present a high-quality hybrid worship experience, it will also be a significant enhancement to the value of the sanctuary as a performance space, allowing us to offer professional level video and audio recording services.
