Music Ministry

Where music brings community to life…

The UU Princeton Music Ministry brings people together—singers, bell ringers, musicians, and music-lovers—who believe in the power of music to connect, heal, and inspire.

Each week in our Sunday morning worship services music helps settle our minds and open our hearts. Whether through choir, bells, guest musicians, or shared singing, we recognize the power of music to ground us individually and strengthen us as a community.

Adult Choir

Led by Music Director Sue den Outer, the Adult Choir explores meaningful and uplifting music from many traditions—classical, folk, world music, spirituals, and more. If you are interested in joining the choir, we invite you to come along and sing with us- for the joy of it. No auditions, just community and connection through song. 

Bell Choir

Experience music in a completely new way. The Bell Choir, led by Joelle Piercy, blends listening, teamwork, and the shimmering beauty of handbells. We rehearse weekly and play in services throughout the year. New ringers are always welcome—no prior experience needed.

Bell Choir rehearsals take place Thursdays 6pm-8:30pm in Founders Room

Rehearsal dates may change, please email musicdirector@uuprinceton.org (adult choir) or handbells@uuprinceton.org (bell choir).

Music Ministry Open Houses take place throughout the year to invite all who are curious about our choirs to attend a rehearsal and get a feel for what it’s like to make music together with us. 

If you have musical talent and/or have ideas for a guest performance, we’d love for you to share with us. Bring your ideas to musicdirector@uuprinceton.org

Special Music & Events

From guest musicians to special concerts, music is woven into our community experience. We are always looking for individuals to expand our music ministry with new contributions, talents and ideas. 

Each year, our All Music Sunday showcases all of our ensembles in a service filled with vibrant, diverse, and inspiring music. This is a morning when the Music Ministry takes center stage, and all present are invited to join in the fun.
