Adam J. Brakel 50th anniversary recital
Pleasant Hills Community Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has rescheduled a twice-delayed recital to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the church’s 1970 Holtkamp organ. This event featuring Adam J. Brakel is now set for March 27, 3:00 p.m.
George Markey, then at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York City, and Westminster Choir College, Princeton, New Jersey, played the organ’s dedicatory recital on April 26, 1970.
The anniversary recital is sponsored by the Harmony Society Chapter of the Organ Historical Society and Pleasant Hills Church. The program will be dedicated to the memory of Bob Frazier, organist and choirmaster at the church when the organ was installed, and Bill Linderg, Pittsburgh organist, resident of Pleasant Hills, and Brakel’s first organ teacher.
