The Greencastle Virtual Music Festival continues Wednesday with a program of organ music performed by Albrecht von Gaudecker on the 2002 J. Zamberlan & Co. pipe organ at Greencastle’s St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church.

The high-definition video and audio concert, filmed and edited by Bryan Langdoc, includes music from the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries, composed by Sweelinck, Nicolai, Bach, Vierne, and Demessieux. A full written program with work titles and organ specifications can be downloaded at http://program20.gvmf.live.

The pre-recorded 45-minute concert goes "live" at 7:30pm ET Wednesday and can be heard and seen:

· in a watch party with post-concert discussion hosted by Eric Edberg at http://watch.gvmf.live

· at facebook.com/greencastlevirtualmusic

All previous weekly programs are available at http://playlist.gvmf.live, including last week’s performance by Hubby Jenkins, who performed a wide range of songs from the African American folk tradition while accompanying himself on the banjo and offering historical insights.
