"Comfort and Joy," a concert of Advent and Christmas classics for organ and brass, will be presented on Friday, Dec. 2, at 8 p.m. at First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange St., Lancaster. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m.

Organist Larry Hershey will be at the console of the 1958 analog Allen organ, with Kristen Albert playing French horn and Doug Albert on the trumpet. The concert will begin with Hershey playing "March on Handel's 'Lift Up Your Heads'" by Alexandre Guilmant and Denis Bedard's "Variations on 'In Dulci Jubilo.'" The Alberts will join Hershey for the Latin antiphon "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" and Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria." The program will conclude with the French Carol "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," arranged for piccolo, trumpet, and organ by Maurice Andre and Jane Parker Smith.

This series of free 30-minute concerts is a gift to the community from First Reformed Church, a center-city congregation of the United Church of Christ. The concerts are held each First Friday. All are welcome.
