Music & Arts events
Music from Oberlin at Oakton
Sun., Oct. 21, 4 p.m., Sanctuary. Come hear top students from the world-renowned Oberlin Conservatory of Music in performance! This program will feature Antonín Dvořák's "Piano Trio No. 3," "Classical Spanish Songs" for voice and piano by Fernando Obradors, and works for unaccompanied clarinet and for unaccompanied violin.

Training for AV volunteers

"Singing by Heart" vocal workshop
Sat., Oct. 27, 10 a.m.-1 p.m., UU Rockville, 100 Welsh Park Dr., Rockville, MD. Free. Register here. Sponsored by MUUSICA, the partnership of DC-MD-VA-based UU music directors, this workshop with Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout connects us to the very earliest music of America - the enslaved Africans who built sounds of hope as they built up a nation. To sing by heart is to access whole worlds of sound and memory that could never be articulated on paper. Join Dr. Rideout to explore the techniques, approaches and strategies that reliably make successful, intuitive singing happen. In this guided community event, individuals of all abilities and ages are invited to explore memory and spirit.
Calling all artists and creatives
Email artspeaks@uucf.org to request more information and a submission form. We know it's early, but we wanted to give time for those out there who want to craft based on the theme. UUCF will be accepting work for its next open art exhibit in December. This artwork will illustrate Mystery and Solstice, tying in with the UUCF December worship theme, Mystery. All types of media qualify, including painting, photography, mixed-media and the written word. The deadline to submit a jpeg image and application is Nov. 1. Artwork will be hung on Nov. 30 and should be picked up by Jan. 6 or 7. All sales will be handled by UUCF with a 20% commission given to the organization.
"Visual Sanctuary" art exhibit
Through Nov. 1, Sanctuary and Music & Arts Room. Open to the public. ARTspeaks has partnered with Art Connection in the Capital Region to organize an art exhibition and placement project titled "Visual Sanctuary."
