Flute and Organ Concert

Sunday, March 22, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. 

Trinity Lutheran Church

600 S. Water Street, Kent, Ohio 

Organist Brian Ebie along with Flutist Laura Ebie will present a concert at Trinity Lutheran Church in Kent, Ohio.

The historic sanctuary of Trinity Lutheran Church houses a wonderful Berghaus organ and lovely stained-glass windows.
The program begins at 2:00 p.m. and will last just under an hour.  Spend an afternoon with beautiful works for flute and organ and solo organ, and enjoy the opportunity to hear one of the finest pipe organs in northern Ohio.

The program will include works by Johann Sebastian Bach, John Stanley, Cécile Louise Stéphanie Chaminade, Jacques Berthier, Gaston Belier, and others.  Selections from across a broad spectrum of classical, sacred, hymn tunes, and folk/celtic music will be performed.

Trinity's Berghaus pipe organ is in the front of the sanctuary with pipes in two enclosed chambers and exposed.  It is a versatile instrument and excellent for church and concert use--with plenty of punch to fill the room with sound!  More information about the organ may be found here.

Laura Ebie is a graduate of the University of Arizona and studied flute at Brigham Young University and the University of Arizona.  She has performed with orchestras and ensembles throughout the United States, and has played in Carnegie Hall.

Brian Ebie has performed in Europe and the United States and has played the famous 206-rank Aeolian Skinner pipe organ at the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Utah.  He also is a skilled pipe organ technician and maintains many instruments in northern Ohio.

Brian Ebie Performing on the Glasgow Organ Series at the Fayette Opera House

Laura and Brian Ebie, Flute and Organ Recital at the Fayette Opera House

On Sunday, November 11, 2012, at 3:00 p.m., Laura and Brian Ebie are presenting a concert of American Music on Flute and Organ to recognize both Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving.  The concert will be held at the historic Fayette Opera House in Fayette, Ohio.  The concert begins at 3:00 p.m.

The Fayette Opera House is home to a Mason and Hamlin three manual/pedal reed organ which has been meticulously restored by Donald Glasgow and Martin Ellis.  Also included in the Opera House's instrument collection are  a Seybold chapel model reed organ, an Alexander harmonium from 1866, and a grand piano. 

"The Fayette Opera House has been located in the heart of Fayette since 1889 and continues to be a center for the cultural and education institutions that sets Fayette apart from other communities throughout the region. Since the opening, the Opera House has been through many changes that adds to its historical story and charm.

Today the Opera House's story is greater than all the restoration projects itself. The Opera House became the home of the Fayette Artist Series and Glasgow Reed Organ Series. Also, it houses the senior citizen's nutrition site and has hosted numerous meetings, receptions and weddings."
