Spring Second Sunday Concert
Sponsored jointly with the local chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
The guest artist is pipe organist R. P. Hale, who is also a harpsichord and dulcimer builder and performer. He will be performing on these instruments at our concert as well. He is originally from Mexico and has conducted intensive research in the Hispanic and pre-Hispanic music of Mexico and Central America, and in the Mayan and Aztec calendars, learning the Aztec Nahuatl language in the process. Mr. Hale teaches early music, harpsichord, clavichord, and hammer-dulcimer at St. Paul’s School and serves as the organist at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, in Concord, NH. He was recently cited by the Smithsonian Institution as one of this country’s premier harpsichord/dulcimer makers. This concert also marks 2008 as the 20th anniversary of the re-installation of our 1876 Hutchings-Plaisted tracker organ at the “new” St. John’s.
