The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany / Union Church of Santo Domingo is inviting the public to a gala concert on its tracker direct-action pipe organ "Tellers Opus No. 1", the only one of its kind in the Dominican Republic. Canadian organist Raymond Rickard, who is visiting Santo Domingo from Switzerland specifically for this event, has a Masters in Organ degree from the Juilliard School of Music and a PhD in Organ from Manhattan School of Music. The concert at 8:00 pm on Saturday, 14 October, will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the organ's construction in Eire, Pennsylvania and the 17th anniversary of its transport and installation at the Church of the Epiphany, located on 253 Independencia Avenue in Gazcue, Santo Domingo. Proceeds from the concert will be dedicated by the church to the organ maintenance fund.
