First
Unitarian is a strong and vital congregation with a history that goes back
to the very first years of our new nation. As one of the first churches
in the country to call a heretical Unitarian minister, it was founded in
1785 by a small gathering of free thinkers, who celebrated freedom of belief
and religious expression. Great music has been a part of this tradition
throughout the years, touching the souls and hearts of all who hear. In
2000, a steeple and roof fire caused major damage to the sanctuary and
pipe organ. The congregation and community responded fervently to rebuild “stronger
and better.” The Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ was completely rebuilt
and, along with improved sanctuary acoustics, inspires and comforts all
who hear the glorious sounds. To honor an inspiring music program and to
celebrate the restoration of the church and its organ, the choir, soloists,
and instrumentalists join together to bring to you this joyful noise for
all children of God to enjoy.
