On May 6, 2017 at 7:00 PM, Internationally renowned organist Ahreum Han will return to the Philadelphia area to perform on the beautiful pipe organ at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Berwyn, PA. Ahreum is no stranger to the Philadelphia area as she is a former soloist at the Kimmel Center’s Verizon Hall, as well as at Longwood Gardens. Her powerful performances have earned her a place as a featured soloist at the National and Regional Conventions of the American Guild of Organists, and her performance at Trinity is sure to be spectacular.

She has served as the Principal Organist at First Presbyterian Church in West Chester, Pennsylvania, an organist at Marquand Chapel of Yale Divinity School, an organist for the Berkeley Divinity School of Yale University, and Organist at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Stamford, Connecticut. Ahreum is presently the Principal Organist, Assistant Director of Music, and Artist-in-Residence at First Presbyterian Church in Davenport, Iowa. She also is the College Organist at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. She was on organ faculty at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Ahreum’s program will include works by J. S. Bach, Widor, Mozart, Offenbach and Louis Vierne.

Trinity’s organ, a gift from William H. Fritz in memory of his parents, Henry and Mary (Lobb) Fritz, was built by the Haskell Organ Company of Philadelphia. It originally contained nine ranks and 518 pipes. Today after several expansions and rebuilds, the latest in 2012, the instrument contains 25 ranks and 1463 pipes. This concert marks the final music event celebrating the 100th anniversary of the organ.
