British Organist Peter Yardley-Jones in Concert

Arts on the Square, a series of musical and artistic events, will present British organist Peter Yardley-Jones in concert at Market Square Presbyterian Church, 20 South Second Street, Harrisburg, on Saturday, October 5, at 7:30 p.m.

Yardley-Jones, music director and organist of the Swiss Church in Covent Garden, London, graduated with a first-class honors degree in music from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in June 2010. He has performed frequently on tour across the United States. Peter made his US debut in July 2010, performing a recital at the Community of Christ Temple, Independence, Missouri, before returning in December to perform at St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York City.

Peter was appointed artist-in-residence at Market Square Church in November 2018. He was organist for the Market Square Singers’ tour of Montreal and Québec City in June of this year.

Yardley-Jones will play works by J.S. Bach, Guy Bovet, Leo Sowerby, John Weaver, and others on the church’s 83-rank Aeolian-Skinner/Moller organ. This will be one of the final public performances on this instrument, slated for rebuilding by Orgues Létourneau Ltée of Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec, in 2020.

The church will provide parking in the city-owned Market Square Garage adjacent to the church. Access to the church building is from the first level of the garage or from the Second Street entrances. A free-will offering will be taken.
