OSA All-Stars – January 13 at 3 p.m. (Sunday)
OVERTURE: Pre-concert talk with organ builder
Sebastian Glück at 2:30 p.m.
For the first concert of 2008, MOSA welcomes
Our Saviour’s Atonement music director and organist Paul F. Mueller and introduces the church’s recently installed
15-rank Möller pipe organ, a first appearance for both on the series. They are joined by member-musicians of OSA, presenting
a wide array of songs and styles from the Renaissance to the New Millennium, in a concert to benefit the organ fund. The “OSA
All-Star” roster includes: Tony Alms, trombone; Jerry Dixon, bagpipes; Lisa Radakovich Holsberg, soprano; Peter Holsberg,
trumpet; Eric Scott Kincaid, tenor; Holly Mentzer, early harp; James Miller, cornetto; Brent Ness, violin; Katherine Ness,
harp; James Noyes, saxophone; Ranko Okuzonu, piano.
“This is a congregation for whom music
is very important,” said OSA pastor Barrie Lawless, noting that thirty percent of the congregation has studied music
through high school, with many still working as professional musicians in New York. “The addition of the organ is something
we hope is enjoyed not just by the church, but by the whole community.”
