The Wabash College Department of Music will present the 19th annual Roger H. Ide Organ Recital at 3 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 17, in the Pioneer Chapel.
Organist Scott Dettra will present this year’s recital on the college’s restored 1935 3-manual, 28-rank Aeolian/Skinner pipe organ. Dettra is the director of music and organist of the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas, Texas. He is also organist for The Crossing, a professional chamber choir based in Philadelphia.
This annual recital is funded by a bequest from Dr. Roger Ide, Wabash Class of 1959, who served as the Wabash College organist while he was a student. The memory of that experience was such a pleasant one for Dr. Ide that he chose to perpetuate the music with a gift that makes it possible to enjoy organ recitals for years to come.
The concert is free and open to the public. No tickets are required. A light reception will follow. For more information contact Wabash Professor Reed Spencer at spencerr@wabash.edu.
