Two Westminster College students from the studio of Kathryn Miller, Westminster College organist, were invited to perform in an organ recital March 29 at 3 p.m. in Heinz Chapel at the University of Pittsburgh. The recital is free and open to the public.
Amanda Gentzel, a senior sacred music and computer science major, is a daughter of David and Margaret Gentzel of Wexford and a graduate of Pine-Richland High School.
Emilie Stuart, a sophomore sacred music major, is a daughter of Jerome and Sandra Stuart of Carlisle and a graduate of Carlisle High School.
The program will include Praeludium in G Major and E Minor by Nikolaus Bruhns; a movement from Olivier Messiaen's "La Nativité;" an antiphon by Marcel Dupré; and movements from Josef Rheinberger's Sonata No. 8 in E Minor, Op. 132.
Gentzel will also participate in an organ master class led by Harold Vogel and sponsored by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
