Posted on Friday, September 5, 2003

Dr. Elizabeth Harrison, assistant professor of music and college organist at Westminster College, will perform a recital Monday, Sept. 15, at 7:30 p.m. in Wallace Memorial Chapel.

The program, "The North Meets the South," includes music by Georg Muffat, Johann Kaspar Kerll, Dietrich Buxtehude, Georg Bohm, Johann Krebs, and Johann Sebastian Bach.

Harrison, who has been with Westminster College since 2000, earned her undergraduate degree from Duke University, masters from Southern College and the New England Conservatory, and her D.M.A. from Stanford University. Harrison spent three years studying at the North German Organ Academy in Germany, and has distinguished herself as one of the leading experts on the Baroque organ.

Harrison is also the founder of the Westminster Historic Organ Program in Cappel, Germany, which offers students an opportunity to study and play several historic organs.
