FIRST-TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
CONCERT SERIES 2007 - 2008
.
First-Trinity
Presbyterian Church of Laurel has a long-standing tradition of
presenting the finest in music in worship and in its concert
series. The church’s 1968 Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ of four manuals and 72 ranks has played a large
role in the church’s musical history. This landmark instrument,
designed and finished by Roy Perry, and installed by J.C. and Nora
Williams, is noted for its versatility and beauty of tone.
Organists who have appeared in concert at First-Trinity include E.
Power Biggs,
Claire
Coci, Marcel Dupre', Virgil Fox, Marilyn Mason, Thomas Murray, and
Frederick Swann. On a world scale, First-Trinity’s
Aeolian-Skinner organ must be considered a "hidden gem;” one that all
Mississippians can be proud to claim as one of the assets of the state.
