Pleasant Hills Community Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its Holtkamp organ with a recital by Adam J. Brakel on April 26. The event will be fifty years since George Markey—then at Madison Avenue Presbyterian, New York City, and Westminster Choir College, Princeton, New Jersey—played the dedicatory recital, April 26, 1970.
The recital is sponsored by the Harmony Society Chapter of the Organ Historical Society and Pleasant Hills Church and will be dedicated to the memory of Bob Frazier, organist and choirmaster at Pleasant Hills Church when the organ was installed, and Bill Linderg, Pittsburgh organist, resident of Pleasant Hills, and Brakel’s first organ teacher.
