CONCERTS AT CLARENDON
Clarendon UMC hosts musical events throughout the year as part of the Concerts at Clarendon series. Some are scheduled, others are special "pop-up" performances.
Musical offerings vary widely and often including a fundraising component aligned with the church's outreach goals. In recent years, musical genres have included classical piano, Baroque brass, Frank Sinatra favorites, bluegrass, and choral ensembles, to name a few. Upcoming events are listed below. We hope to see you soon!
What an incredible evening we had on Saturday, March 14, 2026! The interfaith musical gathering "With One Voice" grounded us in peace, helped us find strength in community, and emboldened our advocacy for justice. Choral ensembles presented inspiring music and we engaged uplifting community singing. A reception followed and allowed everyone an opportunity to connect with one another. You can watch the concert on our YouTube page: With One Voice.
