Emma's Revolution The San Diego UU Network sponsors and promotes a number of musical events each year highlighting the musical talents of our local UU members, as well as well-loved musicians from across the country. All of these events feature music that promote and affirm UU principles, which include a focus on social justice, compassion in human relations, and support of spiritual growth, along with an appreciation for the interdependent web of life.
Peter Mayer In June 2012, the combined choirs and musicians from all five San Diego UU congregations presented “Sources: A Unitarian Universalist Cantata.” This choral work in seven movements featured music by Jason Shelton, Associate Minister for Music at the First UU Church in Nashville, Tennessee, and lyrics by Kendyl Gibbons, Minister at All Souls UU Church, Kansas City. The San Diego production was under the musical direction of Tim McKnight, Director of Music, Chalice UU. The “Sources” cantata takes its inspiration from the six sources of Unitarian Universalism, which include the teachings of many different religious and spiritual traditions.
Beginning in 2014, SUUN has featured UU musicians from around San Diego at our annual summer celebration called “Taste of UU –Food & Music Festival”. This is an opportunity for UUs from across the county to visit together, while enjoying great food and live music from a number of our local UU bands and singing groups, including Chalice's Grunnion Run and First UU’s JUUL Tones.
