The Friends of Music Concert Series, an outreach program of The First Congregational Church of Camden, kicks off the 2026 series Sunday, March 8, at 4 p.m., with organist Gail Archer.

Having traveled the world over concertizing, Gail Archer’s performances are regularly reviewed as “vivid”, “arresting”, and “mesmerizing,” according to a Church news release. Archer will present a program of Bach, Schumann, Brahms, Boulanger, and Demessieux, along with selections from her recent CD of Bulgarian organ music.

This concert is sponsored in conjunction with Susan Yoder in memory of Tom Yoder.
