The Westminster Organ Concert Series continues its 43rd season on Sunday, November 19, at 4:00 pm, with a concert of vocal and instrumental music by George Frideric Handel. Soprano Megan Sharp joins violinist David Sariti and Lauretta Werner, cellist Brady Lanier, and organist and harpsichordist Jonathan Schakel for a program of rare gems by the famous baroque composer, including his “Gloria,” a cantata for soprano and strings rediscovered in a London archive in 2000. The concert is free and open to the public and will be followed by a reception.

Westminster Presbyterian Church is located at 400 Rugby Road in Charlottesville. Ample parking is available behind the church, and the sanctuary is wheelchair-accessible.

The Westminster Organ Concert Series was begun in 1980 to share the newly installed all-mechanical baroque-style pipe organ with the community. The organ, built by Taylor & Boody Organbuilders of Staunton, Virginia, has 18 stops and over 1100 pipes.
