Friends of Music at Guilford, now in its 51st concert season, welcomes the return of guest organist Justin Hartz, who opened its 2009-10 season in The Organ Barn with virtuosic flair. This event begins at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 28, in the barn at Tree Frog Farm, off Packer Corners Rd. in idyllic rural Guilford; it's a pleasant 9 mi. drive from the Guilford Country Store. Hartz will perform works by Bach, Vivaldi/Bach, Daniel Pinkham, and Liszt on the c. 1897 Tracker Organ, as well as two selections by Brahms on Hartz's own 1918 Estey JJ portable model. An E. Power Biggs Fellow of The Organ Historical Society, Hartz chooses repertoire suited to the special characteristics of the instruments he plays; he'll share insights on the composers and works in this program. A festive holiday cookout follows (it's optional for concertgoers) with grilling options for vegetarians and carnivores alike, plus salads, sides, sips, and sundaes. Admission to the concert is $15 per person; the meal is an additional $10 per person. Reservations are useful for food planning but not required.
