Pipe organ dedication concert set

Internationally acclaimed concert organist Alan Morrison will play the dedicatory concert for the recently completed Hill Byrne Christiansen Memorial Pipe Organ at First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange St., Lancaster, on Sunday, Nov. 17, at 3 p.m. The concert will take place in the historic 1854 sanctuary.

The organ, in memory of Rita Jane Barton Hill Byrne and the Rev. Ronald and Darlene Christiansen, is a rebuilt Sebastian Gundling organ that was repaired, restored, and enhanced under the craftsmanship of Larry Pruett at Columbia Organ Works.

Morrison has performed in concert throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Russia. He is a regular performer at Marian Anderson Hall in Philadelphia, where he presents music as a soloist, as a concerto soloist, with choral and brass groups, and with the Philadelphia Orchestra.

The concert is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available afterward.

For more information, call the church office at 717-397-5149.
