TAYLOR AND BOODY OPUS 85 ORGAN

Christ Episcopal Church is thrilled to welcome its new Taylor & Boody Opus 85 to New Bern, North Carolina! We will celebrate with two Organ Dedication Events scheduled for the end of September: a Dedicatory Eucharist Service on Thursday, September 19th at 7:00 pm, and a Dedication Concert featuring concert organist Nathaniel Gumbs on Friday, September 20th at 7:00 pm. 

 

Singers are invited to join the choir anthem at the Dedicatory Eucharist Service and should email jacquelinenappi@christchurchnewbern.com to sign up. A rehearsal will be held at 5:15 pm in the nave on Thursday, September 19th.

 

Performing artist Nathaniel Gumbs is the Director of Chapel Music at Yale University and concert organist under McFarlane Artists, Inc. A reception will be held following the Friday concert. Christ Church is located at 320 Pollock Street in downtown New Bern. Street parking is available. Please join us in celebrating the completion of this wonderful instrument!
