First Congregational Church of Portland, organ concert with Angela Salcedo

We haven’t heard Angela play in six or seven years, since she was the organist at the Storrs church, at which time she gave her first concert since studying in France. She’s now at the Glastonbury church. Today’s concert, at the First Congregational Church of Portland, included Franck and Duruflé; she still likes the French organ composers. She did an excellent job and got great sound from what was, surprisingly, a very small organ.

We saw a familiar face there—Kasha, the harpist we saw last night with the Wild Notes. It turns out she is the organist at the Portland church! ($20) (Jan)
