Bach Organ Marathon in Montpelier

Past event
Mar 22, 2020, 1:30 to 5 PM

The sixth annual Bach organ marathon will take place at Christ Episcopal Church, 64 State Street in Montpelier, on Sunday, March 22nd, starting at 1:30 p.m. This celebration is free and informal; all can come and go at will. Donations will support the music scholarship program in the Montpelier-Roxbury public schools.

This event, co-sponsored by the Vermont Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, features the noteworthy pipe organ, which was built by Karl Wilhelm of Montreal in 1972 in the north German style of the 1600s, making it perfect for the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

As well as five professional organists, there will also be one youth choir, several students, and remarks by the choral conductor Richard Riley, who attended the 2019 Bach festival in Leipzig, Germany. And there will also be refreshments, donated by local businesses, all to support music and music education in central Vermont.
