First Universalist Parish will present Heinrich Christensen in concert on our historic tracker organ on Friday, May 19th, at 7:00 pm. A donation of $25 is suggested, although any amount is welcome. Donations will go to the church music program.

A native of Denmark, Christensen came to the US in 1998, and received an Artist Diploma in Organ Performance from The Boston Conservatory, in addition to degrees from conservatories in Denmark and France. He was appointed Music Director of historic King's Chapel in the year 2000, after serving as affiliate organist under the direction of Daniel Pinkham during the final two years of Dr. Pinkham's 42-year tenure at the church.

Christensen was a prizewinner at international organ competitions in Odense, Denmark, and Erfurt, Germany, and has given solo recitals on four continents. He has performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Ballet, Handel & Haydn Society, and numerous choruses in the greater Boston area. He has been a featured performer at regional and national conventions of the American Guild of Organists, and is a former dean of the Boston Chapter.
