Musical Mondays Concert Series Continues Tonight!

Make this your New Year’s resolution:

Tonight at 8 pm come hear renowned organist Eric Plutz perform on the historic Whitelegg Möller pipe organ at Capitol Hill United Methodist Church. This performance is part of the free “Musical Mondays” concert series the church launched to share its newly restored pipe organ with the community. The organ is considered to be a tonal masterpiece.

Mr. Plutz, University Organist at Princeton University, will play organ transcriptions of orchestral works, among other selections. He has been described by the Washington Post as “a spirited and virtuosic organist.” At Princeton, he has recorded two solo organ CDs, Poème Héroïque and Carnival; both recordings will be available for sale tonight and also are available through the Pro Organo web site, www.zarex.com.

He is no stranger to Washington. Besides working with the National Symphony Orchestra, the Choral Arts Society, the Washington Ballet and many other organizations, Mr. Plutz was long-time organist and director of music at Church of the Epiphany and served as dean of the DC Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

The performance will be followed by a sumptuous reception. Both are free, but donations are welcome.

The next Musical Mondays performance will feature David Kim, Concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, on March 29.
