Music and Arts
First
Presbyterian's music and arts family has all of this...and
more. Much more.
Whether you're looking to participate
or to sit back and enjoy what's offered, we invite you to
join us. There are plenty of seats in the congregation...and
there's plenty of room in our various groups.
First Presbyterian Church has a long
and distinguished music and arts history. Our programs have
not only enriched the congregation and the worship services,
but have also reached into the community. We've made a
difference there, too.
So we invite you to browse our
website. Just click to find out more about music and arts at
First Presbyterian!
Keyboards
One thing
about it, we're blessed with a plethora of pianos.
Gracing our Sanctuary is a seven-foot Steinway grand piano, donated to
the church in the mid-1980s by Helen Light. The choir rehearsal room
houses the other Steinway, a spinet.
The remaining pianos, all spinets, are scattered throughout the church,
in music rooms, the fellowship hall, the chapel and several lounges.
The contemporary sanctuary houses a three-manual Austin 31-rank pipe
organ with 19 stops. It has 1,899 pipes (the smallest the size of a
pencil and the largest, 16 feet long. The organ was moved from the old
church in 1924 and was installed in the present church in 1961. Its
umbilical cord design allows it to be moved for concerts.
What kind of music are you looking for?
