Organs In Review Summer Concert Series

This summer’s Organs in Revue will begin at noon Wednesday, June 15, at Blessed Sacrament Catholic
Church, 2028 Seventh Av. E. Kristen Weikum is the organist. In addition to the organ pieces, Weikum will play several organ-trumpet duets with Rolf Widstrand. Weikum is choir director and youth coordinator at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Virginia. Widstrand, a Hibbing native, is a retired educator, who
keeps a very busy schedule.

There is no charge to attend the recitals, but donations toward the Trox Hamilton Organ Scholarship Fund will be accepted. Trox was an organ/piano teacher in Hibbing and accompanied the high school choirs for many years. She was one of the organizers of this recital series, along with Hibbing Community Education and Hibbing College Community Service. The scholarships are for anyone wishing to learn to play the organ. Contact Erik Holloque or Vicki Gornick for more information.

A light lunch will follow the program for a small cost.
