Good Friday concert set

Organist Larry Hershey will present a concert at 8 p.m. during the First Friday event on Good Friday, April 7. Hershey will perform on the vintage 1958 analog Allen organ at First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange St., Lancaster. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m.

The 30-minute program, "Music for Contemplation," will include Virgil Fox's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Come Sweetest Death, Come Blessed Rest." The late Fox, a virtuoso recitalist, played the dedicatory recital for the church's Allen organ 64 years ago on April 7, 1959. Pianist Debbie Botham will join Hershey for organ and piano duets, including John Stainer's "God So Loved the World" and "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded" arranged by Mark Hayes and Marvin Gaspard. The concert will conclude with Joel Rainey's arrangement of "Lift High the Cross."

The concert is free and open to the community. For more information, call the church office at 717-397-5149.
