Sounds of
Starkenburg Holiday Concert, Starkenburg, MO, 2pm and 7pm
The sounds of the
historical Pfeffer pipe organ, a solo mezzo-soprano voice, and brass
handbells will fill the St. Martin Church Museum in Starkenburg for two
performances of a Holiday Concert on Saturday, Nov. 28.
Performances will
be held at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The concert
highlights music of the Advent and the Christmas seasons, and will be
offered free to the public. Barry Bierwirth, a Hermann native and noted
musician in St. Louis, will work the foot pedals and keys of the Pfeffer
pipe organ to bring out the most beautiful songs, getting everyone into
the Advent spirit.
Joining him in
this Holiday Concert will be the St. Paul United Church of Christ
Handbell Choir of Hermann. The 14-member choir plays four octaves of
handbells and three octaves of hand chimes. Other percussion instruments
will be used during the concert to enhance a variety of musical
selections and techniques.
The acoustics and
setting of the historical St. Martin Church Museum - built mostly by
immigrants from Bavaria and their descendents, and restored to how it
looked in about 1900 - provides a venue that will be sure to put the
audience into the spirit of Advent and Christmas.
