HONESDALE, PA — An organ recital to benefit the organ restoration at Grace Episcopal Church at the corner of Church and 9th streets will be held Sunday, October 18 at 2 p.m. Young, award-winning artist, Bryan Lohr will be at the console playing music by J.S.Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, Cesar Franck, Calvin Hampton and others.

Lohr is one of America’s most distinguished young organists, holding degrees from the Juilliard School and Carnegie Mellon University, where he became the first organist to receive the prestigious Artist Diploma. He serves as organist and director of music at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Somerset. Lohr has played numerous concerts and recitals across the United States and has been a finalist in several national organ competitions.

He has offered his time and talent for the benefit of the restoration fund for the organ at Grace Church. A free-will offering will be received. Grace Church is hoping to repair and enlarge its 1960 M.P. Moller pipe organ, a gift to the parish from former organist Mabel Broad. Call 570/241-2685 or-253-2760.
