The FUSF choir, officially known as “The Universal Singers,” has been in existence since the early 1990s. Our Minister Emeritus, Rev. Carol Rosine, suggested the name, thinking that it sounded more welcoming and less intimidating than “FUSF Choir.” Over the last 30 years, many singers have come and gone and several FUSF volunteers have led the group including Phil Hall, Sue Bencuya, Rick Duthe, Lyndie Laramore, and Michele Kelly (before officially serving as Music Director.) Currently, there are 20 members though we are always welcoming new singers.
The Universal Singers currently rehearse twice weekly: Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 pm and Sunday mornings from 8:30-9:40 am. Not all members are able to attend every Wednesday evening rehearsal, so many practice at home with the tracks and links provided. There are only a few expectations of each choir member: have fun; attend as many rehearsals and Sunday performances as you can; take advantage of the practice tracks and links provided by Michele.
If you have any questions about the choir, please reach out to Michele Kelly for more information by email at musicdirector@fusf.org.
