[Choir] news

[Richard Riley]

Dear Choir,

As I enjoy the energy that has come from you as we Zoom in on Music Sunday
next week, I have some difficult news to share. The work required by a
music director at UCM at this unusual time is no longer a good fit for my
passion for in-person music making. The church needs someone with the
energy, motivation, and flexible skill set to address the challenging times
we are now in. Now is the right time for me to end my tenure as your music
director.

My greatest value to the church has been the opportunity to work with *you*:
to engage you as members of the congregation to sing in the choir, and to
ensure that the choir’s level of performance is high enough to always be a
positive element in UCM services. It has also been wonderful to work with
Eliza, and to bring in guest musicians.

I will miss doing all that, and I am sure that I can’t totally know what it
will feel like to not be involved in the way I have been but, hey, time
marches on - however strange time is these days.

I'm writing to you now because Joan has just announced my decision at the
Annual Meeting. I'm writing with tears in my eyes, but with the hope that
Music Sunday will help me express my appreciation for my time with you.


With love,
Dick
