There will also be pieces played with Trumpet and Organ, Violin and Organ and Piano and Organ and Music Students from Wesleyan University will also be preforming pieces at this event.

Austin Organs, Inc. is a Hartford based company that has been in business since the company's founding in 1899. The current Organ at the Church was installed during the 300th Anniversary of the Church when the Rev. Dr. Azel Washburn Hazen was the Minister at the Church.

The event is free of charge, but the church will accept any donations and all donations would go to the offset of refurnishing the organ to keep it up to par so that the church can get the most use out of it.

We hope to see you there!
