Organ Spooktacular featuring John Schwandt
OCTOBER 30, 2022 • 6:30 pm
Don your favorite costume and bring the entire family to a pipe organ concert perfect for all ages! With music ranging from Bach’s famous Toccata & Fugue in D Minor (known to many as the “Phantom of the Opera”) to a medley of tunes from Harry Potter, PUMC’s family-friendly tradition concludes with this open-to-all, informal concert.
Wolff von Roos is a young and active organ recitalist who has performed in venues across the United States & Canada. He’s the only one in his class and probably in the whole field of organists that actually wears a cape.
