Organ Concert Featuring Lydia Maier

The 1896 Kimball Pipe
Organ at the Union Sunday School will again grace an audience with its
beautiful notes for the 46th annual Union Sunday School Concert Series. Montauk
Historic Site, in partnership with the Clermont Historical Society, is excited
to announce that Lydia Maier, a University of Iowa student in Organ
Performance, will be performing the second concert of the series.

Lydia Maier, a native of Madison,
Wisconsin, is currently in her junior year of Organ Performance studies at the
University of Iowa under Dr. Gregory Hand. She started her studies in 2021 with
Andrew Kreigh, continuing with Bruce Bengtson, and has since been shaped by her
travels to study and play historic organs across Germany. At the University of
Iowa, Lydia serves as the Social Media Coordinator for the Organ Studio and is
currently developing a collegiate honors recital. She is an active member of the
American Guild of Organists (AGO) and the National Association of Pastoral
Musicians (NPM), where she also serves as the Social Media Coordinator for the
Iowa chapter. Outside of music, Lydia enjoys caring for plants and cooking.

Following the concert,
the Clermont Historical Society will provide refreshments at the Clermont Opera
House – one block from the Union Sunday School.

If you’ve never been to
one of our concerts, come check it out! The annual Union Sunday School Concert
Series features performances by trained musicians on the largest Kimball Pipe
Organ in the United States. Built in 1896, the organ was a gift presented by
former Iowa Gov. William Larrabee to his daughter, Anna, who was the church’s
organist for more than 60 years.
