The Chancel Choir of The First Church of Nashua will come into the FM Concert Series for their second seasonal project as part of our 100th organ anniversary. The retrospective musical telling of Christ’s last words on the Cross are woven through the music and beautiful English-translation texts of Théodore Dubois’ “Seven Last Words” accompanied by the mighty Anderson Memorial Organ. (Austin Opus 1406, 1926; III/60). Joining our professional house soloists within the Music at First ministry: internationally-acclaimed tenor Steven Caldicott Wilson (member of the double Grammy-nominated New York Polyphony vocal quartet) returns back to First Music. The Dubois choral work will be woven into the gentle fabric of a Vespers format. As our second pipe organ (1976 Andover Organ Company, Opus 79, I/3) celebrates her 50th Anniversary in 2026: this sister chamber organ will also be present in the grand Victorian sanctuary, offering additional works by Johann Sebastian Bach. A time to reflect, meditate and contemplate on a winter’s afternoon. Join us on Sunday MARCH 22 at 3PM for this free program. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and underwritten through the FRIENDS OF FIRST MUSIC.
