An organ concert featuring Erik Meyer of Erie, Pa., will be played at Grace Church in Haddonfield on Sunday, March 21, at 4 p.m.
This is the fifth program in this year’s Arts at Grace series. The church is located at 19 Kings Highway East in the business district of Haddonfield.
Parking is available on the street and in the municipal and PATCO lots behind the church.
Erik Meyer was raised in Collingswood, where he began his organ studies at 13, studying with the Lutheran pastor, organist, and composer, J. Bert Carlson.
Erik earned a bachelor of music and master of music in organ performance from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, in Baltimore, where he studied with Donald Sutherland.
He has studied recently with Todd Wilson, a noted concert organist and educator. Erik’s Peabody years were spent performing with the student orchestras and in operas, singing in the Peabody Chamber Singers, premiering works by student composers, teaching ear-training classes, and playing chamber music.
In the fall of 2007, Erik was appointed to the adjunct faculty at Mercyhurst College, Erie, where he teaches organ. His choral compositions are published by Augsburg Fortress and St. James Press.
On the scheduled concert, he will perform “Fanfare” by Leo Sowerby, an original work “Six Sketches on Children’s Hymns,” “Introduction and Passacaglia in f minor” by Max Reger, “Gospel Prelude on ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’” by William Bolcom, and Calvin Hampton’s “Five Dances.”
A free-will offering will be received at the door.
All are welcome to attend.
