“Above the tumult and the strife,

I hear the music ringing.

It sounds an echo in my soul.

How can I keep from singing?”

At First Parish, music stirs our souls. Each week, we sing from the Unitarian Universalist hymnals Singing the Living Tradition and Singing the Journey as part of our worship service, accompanied by our music director, Dr. Sanae Kanda. Our choir also performs many weeks throughout the year.

We welcome your unique voice to join in the shared ritual of community song each Sunday at First Parish. Interested in joining the choir or sharing your music at First Parish? To learn more, feel free to email our music director at music [at] firstparishbeverly [dot] org.
