As a part of the Lancaster Summer Arts Festival, the Lancaster Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (AGO) will host a recital at Historic St. Mary's Church, 119 S. Prince St., Lancaster, on Thursday, June 9, at 7 p.m. Local organists will play the Hall organ, which was built in 1925.

Doug Wimer, resident of the Buch Organ Company in Ephrata, will perform Olivier Messiaen's "Dieu parmi nous." The program will also feature T. Tertius Noble's "Legend," written in 1944 and dedicated to the founder of the Lancaster AGO chapter, the late Frank McConnell, longtime organist of St. James Episcopal Church. Other performers will include Dr. Ross Ellison, John Zielinski, Deborah Berdos, the Rev. Mark Herr, Christopher Prestia, and Margaret Marsch.

A freewill offering will be received to support scholarships presented by AGO to young people so they may obtain organ lessons. One scholarship winner, Kyle Bainhauer, will perform J.S. Bach's Fugue in G minor during the upcoming program.

Parking is available in the garage across the street from the church.
