Testimonials

“UUCB’s sanctuary wraps acoustic music in a warm, natural reverb that lets voices and strings bloom without heavy amplification. The space is beautiful, tasteful and spacious with a smooth floor that’s great for dancing.  I love making music there!”

“Working and performing in the Belfast UU sanctuary has been a joy each time. The staff has been so supportive, the space warm and welcoming, the sound full and rich, and the location easy to find. It’s truly a gem!”

  • Ethan Tischler, musician and choir director

​
“The Penobscot Bay Orchestra always enjoys playing at the UU Church in Belfast. The natural light is wonderful, and the room is spacious. The steps by the altar create natural “risers” — they increase visibility and projection and work well for performing. The sound in the space is bright and clear with no echo. The staff is accommodating, accessible, and helpful. The audience has been both overflowing and enthusiastic, and we feel deep gratitude for being able to use this beautiful space.”

  • Joyce Hillman, PBO

“The UU church in Belfast is a beautiful space for any kind of event, whether it’s a dance, concert, or workshop. The lighting is warm, and the acoustics are supportive and rich. I have performed there comfortably unamplified. Also, communication and logistics have been so smooth for every event I’ve been a part of. I highly recommend it for any musician looking for a great venue in Belfast!”
