Organ Students to Participate in Pittsburgh Events

Two Westminster College students from the studio of Kathryn Miller, Westminster College organist, were invited to perform in an organ recital March 29 at 3 p.m. in Heinz Chapel at the University of Pittsburgh. The recital is free and open to the public.

Amanda Gentzel, a senior sacred music and computer science major, is a daughter of David and Margaret Gentzel of Wexford and a graduate of Pine-Richland High School.

Emilie Stuart, a sophomore sacred music major, is a daughter of Jerome and Sandra Stuart of Carlisle and a graduate of Carlisle High School.

The program will include Praeludium in G Major and E Minor by Nikolaus Bruhns; a movement from Olivier Messiaen's "La Nativité;" an antiphon by Marcel Dupré; and movements from Josef Rheinberger's Sonata No. 8 in E Minor, Op. 132.

Gentzel will also participate in an organ master class led by Harold Vogel and sponsored by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
