Frederick Hohman performance marks anniversaries of Kanawha Organ Works and St. Mark’s Episcopal

On Sunday, May 15, Frederick Hohman gave a solo recital on the Kanawha Opus 1 (with enlargements Opus 1-A and Opus 1-B) pipe organ at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, St. Alban’s (near Charleston), West Virginia.



The recital was in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of Kanawha Organ Works, and in recognition of the 14th anniversary of the opening of the organ at St. Mark’s.



At the request of Chris Nagorka (pictured on left), principal of Kanawha Organ Works, Hohman (pictured on right) repeated the exact program he played at the organ’s opening dedication recital in 1997.



The program included standard organ literature and familiar symphonic transcriptions. The 14-rank organ has had recent additions of a 32′ reed and 8′ Imperial Trumpet (en chamade).
