Sunday, July 9 - An American Hymn Festival
The program will feature our choir and the audience singing many of our traditional American hymn tunes. Guest musician Jeanne-Marie Rogers will act as our song leader, Frank Kirk Jr. will be at the organ, and Doug Yeager on flute. Soprano Conra Cowart and tenor Todd Rogers will join our choir for this 40-minute musical stroll through the liturgical year.
Sunday, July 23 - 105th Anniversary of our Pipe Organ
On Sunday July 23rd we will celebrate the 105th anniversary of the Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church pipe organ. Our Director of Music, David Paul Gibson, will be at the keyboard playing the music of the distinguished American composer Alice Jordan (1916-2012). You will hear many of her familiar hymn arrangements, as well as several original compositions. Join us to celebrate the gift of our wonderful organ.
Sunday, August 6 - Great American Songbook
On Sunday August 6th we have planned a celebration of the Great American Songbook. Doug Yeager and David Paul Gibson will be performing music by George Gershwin, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, Henry Mancini and other American greats. You will enjoy hearing such old favorites as “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “Stardust,” “The Shadow of Your Smile,” “The Days of Wine and Roses,” and others. You may be tempted to sing along, and that will be just fine!
