Autumn Organ Concert in New Providence, NJ
Faith Lutheran Church · 524 South Street New Providence, NJ 07974
For almost seven years, Shea Velloso has led the music at Faith Lutheran Church in New Providence. This Sunday, he takes the bench for an Autumn Organ Concert that is free and open to neighbors.
The concert is Sunday, September 27, at 1 p.m. at Faith Lutheran Church, 524 South Street, New Providence. Velloso will perform works by Erik Satie, Percy Whitlock, Alexandre Guilmant, and others. He holds a Bachelor of Music in Organ Performance from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, has given recitals across New York City and New Jersey, and received the Elizabeth W. Durham Award for Excellence in Performance. Union County Life readers who enjoy live music will find this an easy afternoon close to home.
The organ has its own story. Sebastian Glück designed it in 2011, and Organ Supply Industries built it. Over the last six years it has gone through major voicing, tonal regulating, and pipe replacement. The church describes it as one of the most outstanding instruments in the area, with a wider range of tonal color and a refined full sound.
Admission is free, and light refreshments follow the performance. A free will offering will be taken to support the church's Choral Scholars Program, now in its second year. The program gives college students interested in choral directing and church music lessons in organ and conducting, plus a first look at running a church music program. Scholars also get to conduct and accompany the Sanctuary Choir.
More concerts in the series are planned for the coming year. For details, visit famfaith.org or call 908-464-5177. Find more New Providence events, arts coverage, and community news on Union County Life.
