Beverly Unitarian Church

Although BUC is a small church we have a wealth of music resources. Our congregation includes a number of really good musicians for which we are very fortunate. We also have two outside professional pianists who play when our house musicians are unavailable.  

There is an ad hoc choir that performs on a bi-monthly basis or so. We are working up to one Sunday a month and encourage anyone who likes to sing to join us.  For specific information about our next rehearsals please contact Jean Robinson at jean@jhrresources.com.
