  Our Music Ministry

 

 

 

“Music is the language of the Spirit. It opens the secret of life, bringing peace, abolishing strife.” -Kahlil Gibran
 
     When we sing together, our hearts are lifted, and our souls connect in ways that could never be achieved by mere words. We co-create something that cannot be recreated.  It is uniquely ours.
 
     At Unity of the White Mountains, we feature the music of artists that are aligned with the principles we practice.  They are called POSI artists, referring to the positive nature of the message. Their music can be heard on the emPOWER  Positive Radio app.  Some of the artists whose music we use regularly are Daniel Nahmod, Karen Drucker, Eddie Watkins Jr. and Jan Garrett& J.D. Martin. 
 
     The core of our music team is the duo of Barbara Courtright and MaryK Croft, with guest musicians such as Shari Kline and Arlene (Strannie) Strandberg. Barbara is the Music Director and has been singing at Unity of the White Mountains for the last five years. She was joined by MaryK in the Spring of 2018.  Together, they lead the congregational music and perform a solo selection each week. We occasionally offer an Ensemble selection with practices after the church service. In 2019 we hosted concerts by Daniel Nahmod, Armand and Angelina, and Shari Kline. In the future, we hope to bring more wonderful artists to our stage.  
 
     Our “Luna Tunes Café” has been growing steadily for the past year and has become an event that we all look forward to. On the night of the full moon, musicians, poets, readers, dancers, and comedians gather to share a five- minute performance in an open mic forum. This past year has brought us hilarious and heartfelt presentations in an atmosphere of love and acceptance. Luna Tunes is open to the community and features a short drum circle each month. 
 
     Come join us as we celebrate the God in ourselves and others through positive music.
