Christine Clewell, assistant professor of organ at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, was featured as a guest performer for the inaugural concert celebrating the installation of a newly relocated Wicks Opus pipe organ at Worthington Lutheran Church in Armstrong County on Sunday, October 12.
The event marked the official dedication of the 389-pipe instrument, which was originally built in 1994 for the Parkview Hospital chapel in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and recently restored and relocated to Worthington by the Lester Organ Company of Akron, Ohio. The 90-minute concert featured music performed by Clewell alongside IUP music students and faculty, highlighting the university’s strong connection to regional musical and cultural life.
The Worthington Lutheran Church’s new instrument replaces a decades-old electronic organ and is expected to serve the congregation for generations to come.
