The recitals begin at 12:15 p.m. and will run about a half hour in length. Advent recitals such as these will be played all over the country as part of the American Guild of Organists activities. Music will primarily reflect the Advent and Christmas themes. An offering will be taken. Salem Lutheran is at 115 N. Washington Ave. and is a handicapped accessible building. These concerts are open to the public. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee and listen to some wonderful Advent and Christmas organ music.
