Christopher Houlihan, Organist
Join us for an exciting program performed on the renowned Baroque-style Beckerath tracker organ at historic St. Stephen’s Church in Millburn. Hailed as “dazzling” by the Wall Street Journal, Christopher Houlihan was named by Diapason magazine as one of the top 20 organists under the age of 30 in 2015. He has performed in major venues across the nation, from the Kennedy Center to Disney Hall, as well as in Europe and at the national conventions of the American Guild of Organists and the Organ Historical Society. He holds a Master’s degree from The Juilliard School where he studied with Paul Jacobs. Previous studies were with John Rose of Trinity College, Hartford. Last spring, he was named the John Rose College Organist-and-Directorship Distinguished Chair of Chapel Music at Trinity College. No tickets required. A suggested donation of $10 can be made at the door. Children accompanied by an adult are welcomed. Meet the artist at a reception following the recital. For directions to the church or more information visit www.ststephensmillburn.org or call 973-376-0688.
The Pilgrim Program
Wednesday, February 21, 7pm-8-45pm
The Pilgrim Program group will meet for the fourth session in the rectory beginning Wednesday, February 21; 7:00 – 8:45 p.m. New members are welcome and past members are invited to return. Please join in this journey of faith and sharing of Scripture stories as well as stories of our lives. There are no prerequisites and, while it is ideal if you can attend all six gatherings, missing some is not an issue. There is a small manual and you are asked to make a donation of $8.00 – 10.00 to help cover the cost. Please consider joining this journey during the Lent/Easter season.
