Wyoming Presbyterian Church

Just in time for Halloween, Wyoming Presbyterian Church invites you to an afternoon of dark, dramatic and delightfully eerie organ music. This one-hour concert brings together three neighboring churches for a shared celebration of the king of instruments.
Matt Balaban, organist at <a href="https://wyomingpresbyterian.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Wyoming Presbyterian Church</a>, Megan Coiley, organist at St. George’s Episcopal Church, and Holland Jancaitis, organist at Morrow Memorial United Methodist Church will perform works by Bach, Distler, Bonnet, Boëllmann and Walters. Expect plenty of atmosphere as the organ fills the sanctuary with sounds well suited to the Halloween season!
Costumes are welcome but certainly not required. Come as you are, or come as something spooky. Bring your family, your friends and your neighbors!
