Upcoming Musical Events Include Harp Music, a Hymn Festival, and Bach Vespers

Heavenly Harps in concert on Sunday, September 22nd
7:00 PM
The ministry of Heavenly Harp was founded in 2004 with the mission of making available the unique healing benefits of harp music combined with the power of scripture and prayer to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Heavenly Harp brings peace and relaxation as well as comfort into everyday life.  Through the Lord’s leading and the doors he continues to open, Heavenly Harp now has ten recordings, and six ministry websites reaching out to many who may never enter a church. 


Through concerts, presentations, retreats, recordings, websites and online forums, the ministry of Heavenly Harp has touched an estimated 
50,000 people in the last few years.  




Aaron David Miller on Sunday, October 13th
Hymn Festival/Organ Dedication
Time TBA
“Aaron has one of the most vivid musical imaginations I've heard.  His improvisations are nothing short of spectacular.  People talk about improvisation being dead in the classical world.  That might be true, but it's alive and kicking in Aaron.  Any musician, classical or jazz, will find Aaron's creativity breathtaking.”  ---Dave Brubeck, Fourth Presbyterian Church

“Soloist Aaron David Miller closed the first half of the program with a dazzling improvisation and the second half with a partially orchestrated rendition of J. S. Bach’s G Minor Fugue.  The evening was an unquestioned success.  Miller….showed himself to be an engaging soloist.  His voicings were colorful, his use of rhythm vitalizing.” --- Steven Cornelius, The Toledo Blade

“What a superb player!  Elegant music-making throughout and the concluding improvisation was wonderful!”   ---Jerome Butera, Editor, The Diapason
