Next Hendrickson Organ Recital October 16

Central Lutheran’s year-long celebration of their magnificent Hendrickson Pipe Organ continues Wednesday, October 16 from noon to 1 pm with a performance by organist John Stender – Organist and Music Director at First Presbyterian Church in Rochester, MN. Featured composers include Paul Manz, Max Reger, Jehan Alain, Libby Larsen, J.S. Bach and others. The recital is free and open to all. Donations collected from a freewill offering will support the instrument’s upcoming renovation.

John Stender has served as the Director of Music and Organist at First Presbyterian Church in Rochester, Minnesota since 2019. The church supports a multi-faceted sacred music ministry, a 4th-12th grade band program, and for more than three decades has promoted its A Festival of Music concert series. Stender holds degrees in organ and sacred music from Luther College and the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.
