NEWS BRIEFS

PRO ORGANO OTTAWA

The wonderful concert by Matthew Whitfied concludes the planned concert series of 2019-2020.

We will now start presenting concerts that we had planned for the 2020-21 season. The first concert will be by Aaron James of Toronto on April 30, 2021. Since we are not selling tickets for the 2020-21 season, we would appreciate receiving donations to help pay the artist's fee, church rental, and video production. A tax receipt will be issued for all donations over $10.
