James Russell Brown celebrated forty years as director of music and organist for St. Giles Episcopal Church, Northbrook, Illinois, on Sunday, October 5.
The morning Eucharist concluded with a reception, and in the afternoon Brown performed a recital of works by Scheidt, Buxtehude, Raison, Bach, Franck, and Dupré to an audience of parishioners, friends, colleagues, and former students. The organ was built in 1993 by Hellmuth Wolff et Associés, Opus 37.
