Lenten organ concerts The spectacular Ruffatti pipe organ will be featured in live and virtual Lenten organ recitals offered by our Director of Music, Dr. Brice Gerlach. In these concerts Brice takes the time to explain some of the mechanical workings of the organ and offers musical insights about the pieces in the program. Each concert opens with a piece that highlights the magnificent horizontal trumpets protruding from the front of the organ case. A work by J. S. Bach is always featured and arrangements of Lenten hymn tunes are presented, allowing for some of the diverse solo stops and softer sounds of the organ to be heard. The concerts will end with a rousing toccata, allowing you to hear the full power of the organ.
Lenten Concert Our Chancel Choir soloists have been working hard to present a video concert of Lenten and Easter choral music. The concert will take us on a Lenten musical journey culminating with the joyful music of Easter. Some of the highlights include:
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross by Gilbert M. Martin, Pilgrims’ Hymn by Stephen Paulus, Ride On, King Jesus! – arr. Howard Helvey and Alleluia by Ralph Manuel.
