Music plays a key role at River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation, both during Sunday worship and throughout the year. High-quality music is greatly valued as part of the worship experience each week. The musical interests of our members — adults and youth alike — are fostered and encouraged for the enrichment of our entire congregation and community.

Music for Sunday Morning Worship

The River Road Choir

Our 50-voice adult group sings for services from September through May and prepares longer programs for special Music Sundays twice each year. The group has a wide-ranging repertoire that includes classical music, spirituals, pop, musical theater, world music, and original compositions by Music Director Clif Hardin.

We also have some recordings of the River Road Choir.  Two CDs produced by the River Road Choir are available for purchase at the River Road Bookstore in the Fellowship Hall on Sundays.

Youth choirs

River Road's youth choirs offer an opportunity for young people from Kindergarten through high school to develop as musicians. These choirs provide a great place to connect with other kids at River Road and to experience singing together. The youth choirs sing regularly for Sunday services and special occasions throughout the year. More about the youth choirs...
