Music in The Meetinghouse is a series of concerts and choral specials that are produced by First Church of Fairfield under the direction of Dr. Frank Martingnetti, Director of Music at the church. This series is an ode to the history of churches as patrons of practitioners of the finer arts including musicians, artists and architects. We invite you come and join us for upcoming concerts and browse through the archive to explore the breadth of this program.
