Tom Trenney will be the featured organist at Wartburg College’s Bach’s Lunch organ recital series Friday, Oct. 19.

The concert will begin at 12:30 p.m. in Wartburg Chapel. It will be preceded by a noon lunch and conversation with Trenney in the Chapel Commons.

Trenney, minister of music at First-Plymouth Church in Lincoln, Neb., is serving as visiting conductor of the Wartburg Choir and Ritterchor and visiting artistic director for Christmas with Wartburg during Lee Nelson’s sabbatical. At First-Plymouth, Trenney shepherds four adult choirs, accompanies the congregation on the Schoenstein organ, preaches sermons and guides the Abendmusik at First-Plymouth Concert Series.

In 2006, Trenney became the first organist awarded First Prize and Audience Prize in the American Guild of Organists’ National Competition in Organ Improvisation; he has since served as a juror for the competition. He also has performed at Schermerhorn Symphony Hall in Nashville, Tenn.; Merrill Hall in Portland, Maine; Spreckels Organ Pavilion in San Diego; and Verizon Hall at Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. He is a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Eastman School of Music.

His program will feature “Con moto maestoso” by Felix Mendelssohn, “Soliloquy” by David Conte and “Canon in b minor” by Robert Schumann. Bach’s “Passacaglia and Fugue in c minor” also will be performed.

Bach’s Lunch attendees are invited to bring a lunch or order one from Wartburg’s Den-Rittersaal by the Wednesday prior to the performance by contacting Marcia Haugen, music department office coordinator, at marcia.haugen@wartburg.edu or 319-352-8300.
