Music/Choirs

Nine performing arts choices, including over 200 participants ranging in age from kindergarten through adults, testify to the importance of music in the culture of HPCUMC. For complete information, contact Neal Hamlin, Director of Music and Choirmaster, at 513-979-8187 or at nhamlin@hpcumc.org.


Whether you love contemporary or classical, sacred music selections relate as much as possible to the Common Lectionary for the day, and contribute to the sense of continuity that is characteristic of our worship experiences.
