CHANGE: The upcoming Organ Recital featuring Erik Meyer has been rescheduled for April 24, 4:00pm. Due to a pandemic driven pause for in-person gatherings at Abington Presbyterian Church, and wanting to share a wonderful program in-person, Music at Abington is rescheduling our planned January event. Note in your calendars the April 24, 4:00 concert by APC’s Erik Meyer in a solo recital centered around the gripping Musica Dominicalis of Petr Eben. We currently expect other scheduled events to resume with in-person (and livestream) presentations as slated in February.
