First Congregational Church of Akron Concert Series
This concert series was established by Director of Music Valerie Thorson following the renovation and restoration of the church’s historic meetinghouse/sanctuary and 4-manual Casavant Freres pipe organ in 2006. Due to the music-friendly acoustic of the sanctuary, choirs and instrumental ensembles are eager to perform in the space, which has become one of the principal performing venues for the University of Akron Symphony Orchestra, the Akron Baroque Orchestra, and other ensembles.
Concerts are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Check our Calendar of Events for upcoming performances. All concerts take place at First Congregational Church of Akron, which is located at 292 East Market Street. Call 330-253-5109 or email church@akronfcc.org for more information. Free-will offerings are taken at performances to directly benefit the performing organization, a local charity, or the church’s concert fund.
