Come hear beauty of Bauman’s organ at upcoming concert Oct. 28
Traditional church music, including beloved hymns, will fill the university’s Bauman Auditorium for its annual Oregon Hymn Festival Concert at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28.
Highlighting the program will be noted organist Dan Miller, a featured organist for concerts at St. John the Divine Church in New York City, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the International Music Trade Show in Frankfurt, Germany. He will be at the Rodgers Digital Organ keyboards, an upgrade on the auditorium’s original 36-rank Balcom and Vaughn pipe organ system with 2,067 pipes that are the permanent backdrop for the auditorium’s stage.
General admission tickets are $5 and are available at georgefox.edu/concerts, through the university’s box office by calling 503-554-3844, and at the door. The event is being sponsored by the newly named Legacy League of George Fox, formerly the George Fox Auxiliary. Proceeds will go toward the Legacy League’s endowed scholarship fund for students.
The 18-part music department program will include six selected hymns that the audience will be encouraged to join in singing. The program includes several hymn stories featuring Brent Weaver, professor of music and music department chair at George Fox.
The program also will include a string sextet, a four-member keyboard ensemble and an eight-member brass ensemble, all featuring George Fox students.
