Music Ministry

Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs. 
Psalm 100:2

Storrs Congregational Church is well known in the area for its wonderful music program.

Under the leadership of Dr. Patricia Snyder,  Director of Music Ministry, SCC's music program offers many opportunities for participation for all ages.

Central to our worship services is our magnificent Fisk organ which, besides providing us with inspirational sounds each Sunday, also serves as a recital and concert instrument for the University of Connecticut musical community several times a year. In 2006 we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the organ's dedication. 

Our Adult Choir, a group of 20-25 enthusiastic singers, is the most active group, providing anthems almost every Sunday of the liturgical year.

The Junior Choir, directed by Janice Castle, is currently for singers in 3rd through 8th grade.  They rehearse on Sundays mornings, inspiring us with their joyful voices in worship about once a month from October to May.

On the instrumental side, we are blessed with a talented group of enthusiastic handbell players which comprise our Adult Handbell Choir, directed by Patricia Snyder and our Intergenerational Chime Choir, directed by Mirella Cole.

Gifted youth and adult  instrumentalists from our midst frequently participate by playing solos or providing accompaniment for hymns and anthems.

College students are welcome to join any of our Adult ensembles.  Please contact Patricia Snyder.

Storrs Congregational Church proudly houses the historic Dunham Carillon tower bells. During the summer our carillon fills the air as we welcome world-famous guest carillonneurs to perform at our Concerts on the Lawn!

Several times throughout the year, we offer superior faith-based performances as part of our Music Series. Be sure to check our website and come to our concerts!!

Our ensembles are open to all and we always welcome new musicians. If you are interested in joining one of our musical groups, please contact Patricia Snyder at 429-9382, ext. 16.
