EVERETT — Trinity Episcopal Church is hosting a concert and fundraiser to replace its aging pipe organ.

The church, built in 1920, found and bought the 1973 Balcom and Vaughan organ over a decade ago. It was reconfigured to use as much of the original pipework as possible in the church built with brick and stone, which make for good acoustics.

David di Fiore, a renowned organist from Seattle who is professor of organ, improvisation and choral conducting at the Catholic University in Ruzomberok, Slovak Republic, is set to perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, at 2301 Hoyt Ave. The program includes music from William Mathias’ “Fanfare,” Noel Rawsthorne’s “Dancing Feet,” Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Fantasy & Fugue in G minor,” Cesár Franck’s “Piece Heroiqué,” Pierre Cocheraux’s “Scherzo Symphonique,” and “Meditation” by Louis Vierne.

Admission is free and donations go to restoring and renewing the organ, the second-largest in the city.
