Music
Members of Third Unitarian Church have always identified music as basic to their sense of the spiritual in life. Director of Music Scott Aaseng works to deepen that sense of spirituality and build a sense of community through TUC's music program.
Music on Sunday mornings ranges from classical to contemporary, from jazz and gospel to folk and popular songs, from various traditions in the U.S and around the world. Congregational participation is encouraged, supported by the choir and frequent guest musicians.
Everyone is welcome to join the choir, of any age or singing ability. Choir practices are on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm.
Scott is originally from Minneapolis and spent time in South Africa and Tanzania before coming to Chicago in 1986 to attend seminary at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago. He has been the musician for various choirs and congregations on the South Side and near west suburbs, as well as Holden Village, a retreat community in Washington State. He lives in Austin with his spouse and two daughters.
