Third Tuesday Organ Interludes
Today it was my pleasure to attend the Final Third Tuesday Organ Interlude in the company of my Bride for the 2009-2010 Concert Year.
The event was held at Saint Joseph Catholic Church at Noon. Patricia McCall performed on the Violin and Nelda Chapman, Organist and Director of Music at Saint Joseph's, performed on the Pipe Organ.
The selections were terrific. The most inspiring one for me was entitled "Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty" by Paul Manz (1919-2009). To learn more about Paul Manz please conduct an internet search using these key words:

The Third Tuesday Organ Interludes have been a fixture in Macon for the last five years. This fall they will be known as the Third Thursday Interludes at St. Joseph. The first Interlude will be at Noon on October 21st.
I have enjoyed this yearly event and hope to continue to do so.
