On Sunday afternoon, my family and I attended a wonderful organ recital given as part of the
Music at Central Series at
Central Baptist Church in Norwich, CT. The organist was my daughter's instructor,
Nathan Bayreuther, who currently serves as Director of Music down the shoreline at the
First Congregational Church of Madison, CT. The program was well rounded, featuring pleasantly playful pieces alongside those that were musingly meditative. The highlight of the 90-minute performance was a four-hand encore of Stars and Stripes Forever, executed by Mr. Bayreuther and his long-time acquaintance, Mr. David Warfield, the Music Director at Central Baptist. The recital was followed by a small reception with the usual delicious goodies that the congregation is known for. If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of the Music at Central offerings, I encourage you to do so. This year, the season features a barbershop quartet, the
Shoreline Ringer Handbell Ensemble,
Celticity, and Mr. Charles Callahan, another organist. See you there!
