For the final concert of the season, Trinity Lutheran Church’s recital series “Artists at the Organ” will present Carole Terry.

Her program will include the big “B” names of the organ world: Bach, Buxtehude and Brahms.

The concert starts at 7 p.m. Sunday at Trinity Lutheran, 6215 196th St. SW, Lynnwood. Suggested donation is $10; 425-778-2159, www.trinitylutheranchurch.com.

Professor of organ and harpsichord at the University of Washington, Terry is a sought-after recitalist. She travels throughout the United States, Europe and the Far East participating in major festivals, academies, competitions and conventions.

Terry took part in the inauguration of the new Fisk organ housed in Seattle’s Benaroya Hall when she was resident organist and curator for the Seattle Symphony from 2000 to 2003. Trinity Lutheran is home to a 2 manual, 30 stop organ built by Martin Pasi housed in a black walnut, Italianate style case.

“For a Look or a Touch”: Jake Heggie’s new work, “For a Look or a Touch,” has been described as a bold new piece from the young American composer of the hit operas “Dead Man Walking” and “The End of the Affair.”

The premiere of this new work starts with a pre-concert interview with the composer at 6:45 p.m. and continues with the concert at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Benaroya Hall, 200 University St., Seattle. Tickets are $25; 206-365-7770, www.musicofremembrance.org.

This theatrical song cycle is about a gay couple’s tragic fate in the Holocaust. This is the first commission by a musical organization to commemorate the suffering of Germany’s gay population, said Mina Miller, artistic director for Music of Remembrance.

“The new work has international significance through its focus on how the restriction of civil rights led to the oppression and murder of gays during the Holocaust,” Miller said in a statement.

“With a running time of 35 minutes, “For a Look or a Touch” will make a major new addition to the chamber music repertoire.
