On Sunday, March 26, there will be a free organ recital on the Rosebush pipe organ in the Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church. The organ recital is in memory of Margaret "Peggy" Wingate Rase, a lifetime resident of Alfred and the wife of AU Professor Emeritus Daniel Rase. All are invited to attend.
The recitalist will be Dr. Judy Congdon. The program which starts at 3 pm will include Prelude and Fugue in C major by J. S. Bach, a Chorale Partita by Johann Pachelbel, Two Antiphons by Marcel Dupre, Trumpet Tune in C major by David Johnson, Three Hymn Preludes by Craig Phillips, and the Allegro from Symphony Op. 42, No. 6 by Charles Marie Widor.
