TGIF Recital Series:

Every Friday night First Presbyterian Church offers hospitality by opening its doors to the community of Santa Fe for a time of music and reflection.  As our Santa Fe neighbors and visitors from all over the world enter our sanctuary they are greeted by a friendly group of ushers and then treated to either the vast repertory of organ music that spans the 14th century to the present, or other musical treasures for various instruments and voices.  Music unites and inspires souls for transformation by God.   Come join us on Friday evenings at 5:30. Free will offering.
