Organic Reflections: Graveyard Gems

Organist Larry Hershey returns to the console of the Hill Byrne Christiansen Memorial Organ for a free 30 minute concert at 8 PM on First Friday, October 4, featuring a program entitled “Graveyard Gems” at First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange Street, in downtown Lancaster.  The program includes Johann Sebastian Bach’s most famous work, “Toccata in D Minor”, “Funeral March for a Marionette” by Charles Gounod (popularized as the theme for Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense thriller TV show), and “Twilight” by Carol Williams, and concludes with Leon Boellmann’s “Toccata from Suite Gothique”.

The First Friday “Organic Reflections” concert series is a gift to the community from First Reformed Church, a center city congregation of the United Church of Christ.  Only 30 minutes in length, the free concerts begin at 8 PM each First Friday for the convenience of those who wish to spend the early evening visiting downtown galleries before the concert.  Doors open at 7:30 pm.  All are welcome to hear 30 minutes of majestic music that will refresh your soul and inspire your spirit.
