Inaugural Organ Concert featuring Pablo Bordignon
October 28th 7:00pm
by donation
Our pipe organ has been restored over the covid dark days, and now we will debut the wonderful “new” instrument in a concert performed by Paolo Bordignon. This is an incredible opportunity for our neighborhood to hear Mr. Bordignon, the organist and choirmaster at NYC’s famed St. Bartholomew’s Church and harpsichordist for the New York Philharmonic. The organ console will be moved to the front, a bit of a rarity, so the organist can be seen while you enjoy the magnificent sound!
