The Smithfield Chamber Orchestra – Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 3 pm
Classical, Pop, & Jazz celebrating American composers

The Bang Family Concert Series was created to encourage area residents to hear an eclectic line-up of top regional and international artists and discover a warm community of music lovers in the church’s beautiful Greek Revival building.  Before he died, Bill Bang, a onetime musician, asked his daughter, parishioner Susan Bang, what drew her to the Smithfield Church. She replied, “First, I came for the music at the annual Christmas Concert and Tea. Then, I realized the spiritual beauty of the church and its congregation. And finally, I became a member because I rediscovered my faith.” Bill wanted others to be inspired by the power of music to embrace worship again, so he endowed the Bang Family Concert Series to draw visitors into the fold while providing the church with a new avenue for musicians in the region.

Concerts are normally held at 3 pm, often but not always on the first Saturday of selected months.
