Music at First
First Presbyterian Concert Series
Concerts are held in the sanctuary, and are well attended by members of our church and guests from the community. Attendees are invited to join us for a reception honoring the performers immediately after the concert in our fellowship hall. First Presbyterian Church is handicap accessible and all concerts are FREE.
Our final concert of the year:
September 19
7:00 pm
Hector Salcedo, Organ
Linda Francisco, Piano
.
This program of duo music will include the Shaker Tune Lord of the Dance, America the Beautiful, Duet Suite by Denis Bédard, and Danse Macabre by Saint Saëns. As always, there will be a reception downstairs after the concert. Join us for some First Presbyterian hospitality!

About the musicians:
Hector Salcedo began his musical studies at the age of eight and earned a Bachelor's degree in Gregorian Chant from the Sacred Music School in Guadalajara. He completed his Master's degree at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome, and from 2012 to 2017, he was Music Director at Guadalajara’s Metropolitan Cathedral. Currently, Hector is the Organist and Director of Music at St. Malachy Catholic Church, Indianapolis.
Remarkably, Linda Francisco has taught for 34 years, at the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. There she taught piano, general music, and Braille music notation to blind, low vision and multiply-handicapped students. In 1999, she began accompanying cantors and ensembles at St. Malachy Catholic Church, Indianapolis.
