Join the HUUF Choir – All Ages & Abilities Welcome!

At Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, we believe that music and song are powerful spiritual practices that connect us to one another, our faith, and the world around us. Singing together is an act of community, uplifting our spirits and deepening our sense of connection as we explore life’s meaning and purpose through song.

We’re thrilled to have MJ as our choir director! MJ is a local musician and teacher who performs with the Eureka Symphony Orchestra, the Mosaic Vocal Ensemble, the Humboldt Calypso Band, and more. As the HUUF Choir Director, MJ welcomes everyone who wishes to sing, regardless of previous musical experience. Whether you’re an experienced singer or a beginner, your voice and presence are valued here.

The choir practices twice a month, on the second and fourth Wednesdays at 5pm, and all are invited to join in! They perform during Sunday services, and the more voices, the more powerful the experience for everyone. Music has the ability to lift hearts and minds, and we hope you’ll be a part of this vibrant musical community.

Interested in joining? Email MJ at mj@mjfabian.com for more details or to get involved.

Come sing with us and be part of something joyful, meaningful, and community-centered. We look forward to making music together!

Community Song Circles: Every 1st & 3rd Friday of the month from 4 – 5:30PM at the Fellowship

“Group singing is a powerful catalyst for social change and community building. We sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment.” Maggie McKnight

Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song calls forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright. This transformative experience is open to ALL -invite your friends!

As part of the Fellowship’s Music Ministry program, we’d like to encourage your participation in these circles led by Maggie McKnight. Maggie grew up singing harmonies with her family and studying classical piano and violin alongside bluegrass fiddle. She has sung and played in various choirs and musical groups over the years, and since 2013 has been leading community song circles and helping people reconnect with the joy of singing. She was the musical director of the Arcata Threshold Choir for 8 years, and is a firm believer that singing is everybody’s birthright. She lives with her wife and two daughters in Arcata.
