Music Program

Choir First Parish has a very active Adult Choir. All members of the parish are welcome within the choir; there are no auditions and there is room for all voices.

We have an ongoing fundraising program for the restoration of our Church's historic 1906 Hook and Hastings pipe organ. The program, entitled "The Elizabeth Smith Memorial Fund" is now in its second year and has been very successful.

We have had a rich and varied group of talented performers that have graciously assisted our cause. Jazz pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen, singer-songwriter Dawna Hammers, classical pianist Dr. Kenneth Wolf, and featured works by Duxbury composer Larence Smith are but a few of the performers we have had the pleasure of hosting at our benefit concerts held in the Church Sanctuary.
