17th Annual Halloween Organ Concert at Baylor Oct. 29

The 17th annual organ Halloween recital will be performed in Jones Concert Hall on the Baylor campus on Wed. Oct. 29 beginning at 9 pm.
The performers will forgo traditional formal concert attire for Halloween costumes. Audience members, both adults and children, are encouraged to come in costume to this free evening of fun music.
There will be a wide variety of music including the quintessential Bach ‘Toccata and Fugue in D minor’, theme from ‘Star Wars’, a hilarious spoof by P. D. Q. Bach ‘Toot Suite’, Beethoven’s ‘Turkish March’, and Saint Saens’ ‘Danse Macabre’ complete with dancing skeletons. Jones Hall will be decorated with orange lights.
Dr. Joyce Jones, Professor of Music and Organist-in-Residence, is the mastermind behind this popular seasonal event. “In order to avoid conflicts with Baylor’s homecoming Oct. 31-Nov. 2, we opted to have the recital earlier in the week, at the late hour of 9:00 PM on Wednesday, Oct. 29”. Dr. Jones is not scheduled to play, but she has been known to make impromptu appearances in previous years. She has taught organ at Baylor since 1969.

Please come tomorrow night and bring friends too!! Especially if they are not familiar with the organ, or don’t particularly like classical music, this is such a fun way to be exposed to the sounds of the organ and enjoy a hilarious evening! :)
