Pipe organ music to mark Halloween

Pipe organ music will celebrate Halloween this weekend in Port Townsend and Port Angeles.

Pipe Screams is a Halloween pops concert featuring organists in costume from across the North Olympic Peninsula, performing music from video games, movies, plays, pop songs and television shows — and even a visit from Edgar Allen Poe.

Trinity United Methodist’s Candlelight Concerts hosts this spooky family-friendly event at Trinity United Methodist Church at 609 Taylor St. in Port Townsend at 7 p.m. today. Masks are required.

A pipe music concert also is planned at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church at 301 E. Lopez Ave. in Port Angeles at 6 p.m. Monday.

Admission is free to both, with a $10 donation suggested. Costumes are urged.

This event is presented by The Olympic Peninsula Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

Half of the proceeds from the Port Townsend concert will be donated to the Recovery Café.

The program is the creation of organist Terry Reitz, who started playing organ when she was 13 for her church in Northern Minnesota. Since that time her artistic journey has taken her across multiple continents over the years, studying a wide variety of artistic endeavors. She came full circle again when she connected with Trinity United Methodist Church in Port Townsend, and began playing not one but two pipe organs that the church installed during her time there.

The program for Pipe Screams grew out of a desire to demonstrate multi-generational organists and the multi-dimensional possibilities to the community. Four generations of organists will be representing the Peninsula Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. The Guild has long history of encouraging and supporting practicing church musicians and the local chapter has an active education program and a scholarship fund for organists of any age and performance level.
