The 2025 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.
“Why am I a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church? Two words keep floating up in a rather persistent way – “home” and “family” – and I realized that it is an inescapable fact that is what this church means to me. During my 40 years here, so many life events have happened and Westminster has been there for me through all those times – good and bad. It has been my home and family. They say “home is where the heart is” and I’ve found the heart of Westminster to be as open and warm as a family’s!”
