Program: Organist Concert

As part of its Centennial Celebration, Black Mountain Presbyterian Church presents an organ concert this Sunday afternoon March 2 at 4:30 PM at the church.

Many talented professional musicians have served the church through the years; this concert will feature three persons who have led the music program in recent years. Sharon Carleton Boone led the church’s music ministry in the 1990’s. She will perform selections from Dan Locklair’s “Rubrics.” Carla Sperry was the church’s first full-time, permanent music director from 1998 until 2006. She will perform the third of J.S. Bach’s six trio sonatas. Michael Barker began his tenure in January 2007; he will perform JS Bach's Fantasy in G Minor and Louis Lefebre-Wely's Sortie II in B-Flat; Mr. Barker will also emcee the program. There will be a reception following the concert, which is free and open to the public. Noah W. Allen and Ted Crist were to have played on the program but have had to withdraw for various reaons.

Here are some photos of past musicians, including those on this Sunday's program.
