Make plans to attend a free concert commemorating a recent upgrade to the university’s pipe organ in Bauman Auditorium. The Organ Dedication Concert, featuring musicians Dan Miller on organ and Kenn Willson on piano, will take the Bauman stage at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20. General seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
The university recently purchased a Rodgers Digital Organ. By the use of digital technology, the organ’s original pipes have been connected to the digital organ. In doing so, the university preserved the original pipe organ installed in the early 1980s while greatly enhancing the quality of sound.
The program will include the selections Toccata and Fugue in D-minor by Bach, a patriotic tribute including the Navy Hymn, a medley from The Phantom of the Opera and one piano and organ duet on the tune Lord of the Dance (arranged by Joel Raney).
