The Hobart Presbyterian Church, 78 Maple Street, Hobart, will present a musical event featuring familiar Christmas hymns and carols and the return of organist Eddie Zheng Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. in the church sanctuary.
Zheng is a master’s degree student at the Juilliard School.
Having spent summers in the Catskills, Zheng created the ‘Organ Music in the Catskills’ series, partnering with historic churches to host recitals featuring the organ and other instruments. He will be playing the church’s impressive M. P. Möller pipe organ, installed in 1914, restored in 1979 and currently in excellent form. Singer Fred Nelson will join Zheng on the program of festive music featuring composers J.S. Bach, Alexander Guilmant, Johann Brahms, and more. The audience will be invited to sing along to a selection of familiar hymns and carols.
Admission is free; those attending are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food and personal items for a local food bank.
There is an elevator at the church for those wishing to avoid stairs.
