Recent Events - 21-Mar-2010 - Organ Artists Series Concert featuring Jane Parker Smith, international concert organist at East Liberty Presbyterian Church in cooperation with East Liberty Presbyterian Church Music Ministry.
Jane practiced beforehand for several days to get registrations and timing exactly right. Fortunately Jon Tyillian, organ scholar and OAS Committee member, was available to help with page turning and logistics..
The church quickly filled up on the day of the concert.....
