FIRST MUSIC brings music to the community and the community into our doors with affordable, interesting, and quality programming. On October 19, 2008, the FIRST MUSIC Concert Series expanded its annual offerings to five exciting programs per season, furthering music outreach to our city and region.  Our patrons find an outlet where fine music is tangible and affordable for an audience of all ages, welcoming not only church members, but also those from the surrounding region, many entering The First Church for the first time!

Collaborating with regional professional music organizations Symphony NH,  Manchester Choral Society, the New Hampshire Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, and community arts staple Actorsingers, FIRST MUSIC celebrates the musical diversity of the Gate City, and the rich musical heritage found at The First Church of Nashua.

Vocal and instrumental artists from across the United States and Europe bring their musical talents to FIRST MUSIC in a wide variety of literature spanning many centuries. The Chamber Series of Symphony NH will continue to be co-produced within the FIRST MUSIC 2012-2013 season, with select programs welcoming former and current solo artists from the orchestra’s mainstage season, in exciting afternoons of chamber music.

Our fifth season offers four Sunday afternoon concerts, and one musical offering within Sunday worship.  The resounding success of integrating Vivaldi’s Gloria in D Major into worship services on “Christmas Sunday” (4th Advent) in 2008, Britten’s Ceremony of Carols in 2009,  the Pergolesi-Durante Magnificat in 2010, and the Saint-Saëns Oratorio de Noël in 2011 continues with the 2012 offering of the Christmas portion of The Messiah - interwoven into the fabric of this festival worship service, with chamber orchestra, choir and soloists hailing from NH, Boston, and New York City.

Whether choosing strings or voice, Bach or Dvorak, classical music or crossover, FIRST MUSIC Concert Series offers something for everyone.  From free concert programs, to more formal ticketed concerts – the choice is yours.
