If you’re looking to be dazzled at every turn, this is the concert for you! A concerto (pronounced con-CHAIR-toe) is a piece of music written for soloist(s) accompanied by an orchestra or other ensemble. Basically, it’s a chance for a virtuoso musician to show off what they can do while the rest of the orchestra backs them up, and this ConcertoFest! is packed with virtuoso soloists.

These sessions are intended for those who consider themselves Catholic in some way, those who are curious about getting more involved at UCH even though they […]

As Union Church, we are collecting an offering directly, and then we will send 100% of those gifts to those in need through the UCC. Click here […]
