William Porter recital

On Sunday, September 6, 2026, Trinity Episcopal Church opens its Sundays at 5 series with an organ recital performed by William Porter, an Eastman professor, in memory of organ builder George K. Taylor. The program is built around the church’s Taylor and Boody pipe organ, Opus 34, and offers an opportunity to hear that instrument in a dedicated memorial concert.

A reception will follow the recital, and a master class is planned for the surrounding weekend, making the event part of a broader educational and commemorative gathering. The concert is part of the church’s monthly Sundays at 5 series, which presents choral evensongs, special liturgies, and concerts from September through May.
