Gretchen R. Iben Arts Series Presents:

featuring the Peoria Baroque Players

Watch the Live Recording

On October 27 we enjoyed An Early Music Concert from the Peoria Baroque Players:  LISETTE KIELSON (recorder), S. BLAKE DUNCAN (baroque oboe), MICHAEL DICKER (baroque bassoon), CORA SWENSON LEE (baroque cello), APOLLO LEE (baroque trumpet), and POLLY BRECHT (harpsichord and organ).  The program features a variety of works from the Baroque era, most played on copies of historical instruments at 415Hz tuning.

“As a newcomer to Westminster,  I’ve found it to be a most welcoming fellowship.  I look forward to going to services and events and find the warmth of the congregation to be most helpful to a newcomer to the entire area.  I find sermons challenging … music beautiful and well prepared … and a dignity in the worship that is all too lacking in most Protestant congregations.  Mix this with an open atmosphere where it is OK to question and still be seen as a good Christian, and I know I’ve found one important ‘home’ in Central Illinois.”
