Wednesday Online Recital Series – Edward Clark, organ

VIDEO ONLY. During the COVID-19 self-isolation, we are presenting brief live-stream-only recitals on Wednesdays at 12:15 during the month of November.

Organist Edward Clark performs for us on Wednesday, November 11, at 12:15 in his home studio. Ed will play five different virtual organs from the 17th through the 20th century, ending with a Ragtime March & Two Step including a slideshow of historic photos from the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair.

Missed it? No problem! After the concert, you can watch the concert at any time at this same link.

Music at the Red Door is presenting online recitals as a benefit for people in Greater Hartford deeply affected by COVID-19: please help. Please thank our artists by donating generously to: Loaves & Fishes, Journey Home, and/or Food Share. At St. John’s, we have only limited resources to help the homeless and hungry, and with the office closed, we are not able to see people directly. Your donation will make a big difference.
