Christmas at the Organ
Christmas at the Organ, our annual Carol Sing, this year at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 409 Cherry St., Columbia 17512. The Midler-Hunter organ was installed in 1951, upgraded by Columbia Organ Works in 1997, and completely restored and expanded by Peragallo in 2017. The church is beautiful at Christmastime, and the acoustic of the room creates vibrant singing, making the Carol Sing one of the highlights of our year.
Blue Christmas Eucharist
Hope Episcopal Church (north of Manheim) will observe the longest night of the year with a Blue Christmas Eucharist. This is meant especially for those who do not find Christmas a jolly, merry time, but this year is special because the organist for the service will be Robert McCormick, currently organist and music director at Good Shepherd Rosemont Church and former holder of the same position at St. Mark's Locust St. in Philadelphia, St. Mary the Virgin in New York City, and St. Paul's K Street in Washington DC.
Rob Horton Recital
Organ Recital by our own Dr. Robert Horton, first place winner of the 2022 AGO National Improvisation Competition. The recital will be held at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 750 Greenfield Rd., Lancaster 17601. Rob has some fine major works for us and will be handed a theme on which to improvise.
