SUMMARY:Friday Organ Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Organ Historical Society (OHS) and Natural Lands present Friday Organ Concerts in the Main House at Stoneleigh. Join us for noontime concerts this spring featuring Stoneleigh’s mighty Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ. Local organists will perform a selection of sweeping musical pieces surrounded by the elegant beauty of the Tudor-revival style home. Come for the music and stay for the beauty of the garden sure to be in bloom in all its springtime glory. \nAbout the organist: \nOrganist Margaret “Meg” Harper has been hailed by The Diapason magazine for her “impeccable” playing and by the Boston Musical Intelligencer for “outstandingly lively\, punchy” performances. Croatian newspaper Glas Slavonije writes\, “The freezing cold of a January evening dominated the cathedral in Djakovo\, but it could not diminish the richness and warmth of sound brought out of the cathedral organ by Margaret Harper.” \nMeg currently serves as the Director of Music at Trinity Episcopal Church in Princeton\, New Jersey. At Trinity\, she oversees one of the landmark Episcopal music programs in this country\, including multiple choirs that have released many critically acclaimed recordings over the years. Before coming to Trinity\, Meg served parishes in New York\, New Hampshire\, and Texas. She has taught organ\, harpsichord\, and keyboard skills at Baylor University\, the University of Southern Maine and the Eastman School of Music. Meg holds a DMA and a Performer’s Certificate from the Eastman School of Music. \nMeg is a passionate advocate for new music and has presented premiere performances of new works by composers including Cecilia McDowall\, George Baker\, Philip Moore\, Todd Wilson\, and many others. She has served in leadership roles for the Association of Anglican Musicians\, the Royal School of Church Music – America\, and the American Guild of Organists.
