UUSE Music Committee 2024-2025

Mission:  In collaboration with the Music Director to provide a vibrant music program and to give opportunities for UUSE members and friends, of all ages, to experience the joy of music as participants and/or listeners.

Goals for 2024-25 

1. In support of UUSE’s widening the circle efforts, work with Music Director to establish, maintain, and  

    continue developing a UUSE multi-generational concert series.  Further develop eclectic and diverse  

    musical events with inclusion of talents from performers of 1) traditionally underrepresented groups in 

    society and 2) all ages, and experience levels. 

1. Work with Music Director to continue growing the Music Program, including the concert series, music 

salon unplugged, coffeehouse, and other music activities that enhance the life of the congregation.  

1. Ensure that pianos have necessary repairs and maintenance done to keep them in good working order 

(voicing, tuning, regulation).

1. Long-term goal:  Prepare a guide to help people, both in and out of the music committee, to sponsor 

concerts.  

1. Investigate whether/how to incorporate PayPal and credit card payments for concerts.

1. Develop guidelines for how to handle performer merchandise sales at concert

1. Consider how to build up an audience outside of UUSE for concerts and the number of concerts/events we should aim to offer per year.

1. Consider the amount we should split with performers when that method is to be used (along with, or instead of, an up front payment). 

2. Schedule a meeting that covers an exercise in emergency preparedness with a facilitator from the Emergency Preparedness Task Force.
