TWO ORGAN MINI-CONCERT
SUNDAY GATHERING AT URBAN SANCTUARY
August 22 Neil MacPherson on the Hammond B3
August 29 Stephan Boniface on the Pipe Organ
Not one, but two!
We will be blessed in August with experiencing the incredible versatility of a time-honored instrument – the organ.
Our own Neil MacPherson will be sharing his Hammond B3 organ with Urban Sanctuary for the near future, and it will have it’s debut with us on August 22. The Hammond B3 organ was originally marketed by the Hammond Organ Company to churches as a lower-cost alternative to the wind-driven pipe organ, or instead of a piano. It quickly became popular with professional jazz musicians in organ trios. We’re grateful to Neil for sharing this as we explore opening our space to concerts, artists and musicians.
Like many churches, our pipe organ isn’t used like it used to be. So, we’re grateful that
Stephan Boniface, who was previously an organist here, and has played for many churches with some of the finest pipe organs in SV. He will return to dust off our organ and share with us some of its unique features. We’re grateful he’ll bring his gifts and his good-natured spirit to share why the pipe organ has been so “instrumental” in church music.
