Welcome to another year of concerts and special events at First Presbyterian Church. Listed below you will find many fine musical presentations throughout the year to which you are invited and encouraged to attend. Many of the concerts will be announced in the newspapers, and if you attend Tower Hill, they will always be announced in the Sunday bulletins. If you have supported our concerts in the past, we hope that your support will continue -- and if possible, increase -- realizing that the cost of artists continues to rise. If you have not been a regular subscriber, we hope that you will become one this season. We encourage you to invite your friends to these excellent performances.
