Saturdays at 7 at St. Andrew’s will present a unique concert featuring iconic pieces from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park and more performed on St. Andrew’s pipe organ.
This concert on Oct. 18 will be performed in St. Andrew’s sanctuary at 7 p.m. by organist Stephen Boda, who is principal organist at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto. Boda will utilize the full sound of St. Andrew’s 102-year-old Casavant pipe organ to bring these timeless scores to life.
Boda is a professional organist, pianist and composer based in Hamilton. He holds a Master of Music degree from Yale University, a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Toronto and an Artist Diploma from McGill University.
He is the accompanist of the Bach Elgar Choir and has collaborated with numerous choirs and ensembles in the Greater Toronto Area and as a performer with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. He also performs as a soloist throughout North America.
The Performing Arts Committee of St. Andrew’s United Church is pleased to welcome Boda to perform on the church’s pipe organ that was installed in 1923. Boasting more than 2500 pipes, the organ was built by Casavant-Freres in Saint-Hyacinthe, Que. and even includes some original pipes from the church’s 1902 Karn organ.
Donations will be accepted at the door – $20 per person suggested amount. All proceeds support the music program at St. Andrew’s.
