Scott Dettra in recital on the 1949 Aeolian-Skinner at First Presbyterian Church, Kilgore, Texas

#religiousmusic #christmas #music #band

The East Texas Pipe Organ Festival presented Scott Dettra to play its closing recital on the landmark 1949 Aeolian-Skinner, Opus 1173 at First Presbyterian Church, Kilgore, Texas for the closing concerts of its 2025 festival. It is presented here in its entirety recorded by our own Bart Ghent. One disclaimer: Of the Langlais Gregorian Paraphrases, we must admit that Scott only submitted the "Ave Maria, Ave Maris Stella," which we failed to catch before printing the program.
