Trinity Lutheran Church’s “Artists at the Organ” presents organist Bruce Neswick in its special season finale at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 23.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Neswick received degrees from Pacific Lutheran University and the Yale School of Music and Institute for Sacred Music. He is highly regarded as a recitalist, improviser, and composer and is in great demand as a choral clinician. His skill at improvisation has won him three first prizes — from the 1989 San Anseltno Organ Festival, the 1990 American Guild of Organists’ national convention in Boston and the 1992 Rochette Concours at the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva, Switzerland.
As a recitalist, Neswick has performed extensively throughout the United States and Europe and has been a featured performer at national and regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists. In 1994, he played the opening convocation for the national AGO convention held in Dallas, Texas, and was a featured artist at the national AGO convention in Seattle in 2000. He presently serves as Canon Organist and Cboirmaster at the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta. His program will include works of Byrd, Buxtehude, Bach and Brahms as well as several improvisations.
The organ was especially designed and built for Trinity Lutheran Church by Martin Pasi Organ Builders of Roy, Wash. and installed in 1995. The 29 stop, two manual mechanical action instrument is encased in an Italianate freestanding black walnut case.
Admission is a suggested donation of $10, or pay as able. Trinity Lutheran Church is located at 6215 196th Street SW in Lynnwood. For further information, call 425-778-2159 or 425-745-1316, or visit www.trinitylutheranchurch. com.
