Thursday Noon Organ Concerts
Twelve organists will perform summer mini concerts on Thursdays from 12:15 to 12:45 starting June 18th and playing through August 27. On August 27th there will be an Organ Building Show and Tell at the former St. Patrick’s Church.
Another highlight this year is welcoming back Brent Erstad on August 13th. Brent is a Fond du Lac native presently serving as Associate Director of Chapel Music at St. Paul’s School in Concord, NH. We are excited to have him return and participate in this year’s recital series. Concerts are presented free of charge. A free-will offering will be taken for the continuation of summer organ recitals and to develop programming, events and scholarships to encourage young people to become part of a new generation of organists.
