Description: 

A free organ concert will be presented at Christ Lutheran Church, 701 N. Indiana Ave., Englewood, on Sunday, February 16 at 3 p.m. The church will celebrate the installation of a new 400 seven rank pipe organ donated by Allen Dreyfuss and built by the R. A. Colby Pipe Organ Co. and the Waker Technical Organ Co.

The concert will be performed by Dr. Richard Benedum, professor emeritus of music at the University of Dayton. Dr. Benedum and his wife, Julane, have recently moved to Venice and Benedum was welcomed as the new organist at Christ Lutheran a year ago. He is the former music director of the Dayton Bach Society chorus and orchestra and has conducted numerous cantatas of Bach and other major works from the 17th to the 20th centuries. He has also directed fifteen Summer Seminars for teachers in Vienna, Austria. He has studied organ and conducted with Helmuth Rilling (Stuttgart, Germany) and has studied musicology with Christoph Wolff at Harvard University. He has recently retired as artistic director of the Sarasota-Manatee Bach Festival.

A free-will offering will be received and a reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall.
