Bach's Lunch


A Series of Noontime Organ Recitals
Wednesdays at 12:15-12:45

“There let the pealing organ blow…Dissolve me into extasie
And bring all Heaven before mine eyes.” (John Milton)


One of the treasures of the Episcopal Church in our region is the great Kleuker organ in our church. A large and complete instrument, our organ is capable of rendering the whole of the vast repertoire of worthy music composed for the “king of instruments.” The Kleuker has been joined this Spring by an exquisite two-manual organ built by the Dobson Organ Company in Lake City, Iowa. This organ installed in our historic chapel has a warm and intimate sound appropriate to the space and the liturgical life which flourishes in it. Come enjoy the varied tonal colors and sonic splendor of these organs under the hands (and feet) of distinguished local organists in this popular series of informal recitals. As the pun suggests, listeners are welcome to eat their lunch (please watch the celery and carrot sticks!) in the nave of the church during these recitals. For a description of the organs, please click on the “Church Organ” and Chapel Organ pages.page.

BACH'S LUNCH series will resume on October 22, 2008. For a listing of concerts, go to the side bar menu, click "Bach's Lunch," then select "Bach's Lunch Fall Schedule."
