Wonderful Music To Suit All Tastes At FCC!

Music at FCC Rochester is an important part of most everything that we do. This is evident when you look at the 9+ musical groups that make up this vital ministry. Under the Direction of our Music Minister Allan Loller, who is also an amazing Tenor, music has thrived and expanded over the past years blessing so many special events, Sunday services as well as many special occasions. Many members and guests have expressed a great appreciation for all that music brings to those who attend. It is important to note the great diversity of musical talent and styles that make up the body of vocalists and instrumentalists of the many performing ensembles of FCC Rochester. Because of this diversity we are blessed to be able to offer a wide range of music from Classical, to Spiritual to Contemporary. Artists range from new and emerging talent to celebrated professional performers. We make room for all who seek to express their spirituality and talent through music. Check out our recordings as they appear online. Or for more information on upcoming concerts or musical services or for information on becoming part of the music ministry, contact us. We would be happy to share our love of the arts with you. A list of the Groups and Ensembles follows.
