Details:
The Rev. Jason Shelton has been director of music at First UU since 1998. He is a published composer, an active local performer, and an advocate for music in our churches and the larger community. Formerly a Franciscan brother, Jason received an MDiv at Vanderbilt Divinity School in 2003 and was ordained to the Unitarian Universalist ministry in 2004. He has served on the board of directors of the Unitarian Universalist Musicians Network and the UUA commission that published "Singing the Journey." His first major work, "Sources: A Unitarian Universalist Cantata" (for chorus, piano, strings and percussion), premiered in June of 2006.
In his ministry, Jason starts with the premise that “what we sing is who we are.” As a composer, conductor and songleader he is fluent in a wide variety of styles, a quailty he feels is important as a musical and spiritual discipline. He believes that we live in a world where our diversity can be celebrated, where the musics of many peoples intertwine and offer new posssibilities for the sonic expression of our deepest values and commitments.
