Beethoven Sonatas for Piano & Violin - Brunilda Myftaraj & Blake Hansen

The current church sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church of Hartford was built in 1870.  Designed by Renwick and Sands of New York City, the building is of Vermont granite with a trim of Portland brownstone in a blending of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. 
The congregation has always served the immigrant community of Hartford. Its original members were Scottish immigrants to New England. In the 1940s, it welcomed an influx of immigrants from Jamaica. Nearly one-third of its current membership consists of African immigrants.  It has hosted new church starts among Korean and Latino immigrants across the years. It supports the work of Presbyterian Promise, which works for the inclusion of LBGT people in the church and society.
