The KUF Choir (AKA the "Vocal Volunteers," or "VV's: ) is a group of dedicated singers who provide music for the services several times a month. Small ensembles, our fine accompanist and composer Deb Schuurmans, and, occasionally, some recorded music is also used for alternate Sundays.

If you enjoy singing, we'd be delighted to have you join us, no auditions, no need to read music (although it is useful, parts can also be learned via "MIDI" selections provided to you). New members are always warmly welcomed into this group, which is serious about its music, but thoroughly enjoys the camaraderie and good times of sharing so special an activity!

Deb Schuurmans, well-known Kingston music teacher and accompanist joins us as pianist, composer of Centering and Offering selections, and accompanist. When not accompanying, Deb often joins the soprano section of the Vocal Volunteers.

For choristers, present and future: Please see Music for the Month for current listings.

Should you have questions about joining our choir, or would like to contribute some music-making to a Sunday Service, or other KUF event, please e-mail , attn. Phyllis Robbins, Music Director.
