Organ recital
An organ recital by Murray Forbes Somerville, former Harvard University organist and choirmaster, will be 7 p.m. in Byrnes Auditorium at Winthrop University. He will perform on the D.B Johnson Memorial Organ. The recital will feature two patriotic pieces – “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” and “The Star-Spangled Banner” – arranged by composer John Knowles Paine, who was appointed Harvard’s first university organist and choirmaster. Somerville’s wife, Hazel, will join him at the organ for Carson Cooman’s “York Concertato.” The program also includes four other selections, including works by composer Johann Sebastian Bach. It is one of a series of summer recitals presented by the Charlotte Chapter of the American Guild of Organists to benefit the Stigall Scholarship program, which provides money for organ lessons for area high school students. Donations will be taken at the door following the program.
