PORT TOWNSEND — The Candlelight Concert series continues next Thursday, Oct. 30, with the annual Trinity Organ Concert, featuring the young guest musician Halden Toy playing Trinity United Methodist Church’s two historic organs.
The performance will begin at 7 p.m. as Toy offers Bach’s Halloween Toccata and Fugue in d minor. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with admission a suggested donation of $10.
Children are admitted free, and refreshments will be served after the concert.
Toy, 21, will play both the 18th century replica of Gottfried Silbermann’s Baroque style organ and a 19th century Bernard Mudler Tracker organ.
“He is extraordinary,” Trinity United director of music Terry Reitz said, adding that Toy’s youth makes his repertoire “all the more incredible.
“I’m sure all of us who are privileged to hear him will be saying, ‘I knew him when.’”
A student in organ performance at Brigham Young University of Idaho, Toy was a finalist in this year’s Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck international organ competition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
