Bach Organ Concert

About the Music: 

The 2026 Bach festival begins with an organ concert featuring a variety of organists playing the music of Bach and his contemporaries on Westminster’s 1989 tracker-action Visser-Roland organ. The organ was designed by Pieter Visser, a native of Holland, who learned the art of organ building in his homeland before settling in the United States.

“What goes through your mind as you sit in the sanctuary and look around?

As I sit in my pew and look up at the cross with the wonderful light illuminating it, I am reminded of why I am at Westminster on this particular day. The cross reminds me that Christ died for me and, in a sense, I am to do the same in my daily life. The brightness of the cross illustrates for me the brightness of living my life in the way of Christ.”
