Join Us for Special Evening in the Chapel of the Prodigal R. Monty Bennett will present an organ recital Sunday, September 24, in the Chapel of the Prodigal at Montreat College. Beginning musical studies at an early age in his native California, Bennett studied organ with Dr. Herbert Nanney at Stanford University and Dr. Roger Nyquist at Santa Clara University while still in high school. Holding a Bachelor of Music degree in Organ Performance form the University of California, Santa Barbara, Mr. Bennett was an organ, harpsichord and carillon student of Dr. James Welch. Performing across the United States and Great Britain in churches, cathedrals and universities, he has been lauded for his virtuosity, musicality and imaginative programming on his concert appearances, as a solo organist, as a conductor and as an accompanist. This third recital in an annual series at Montreat is being provided as a gift to the community by the donors of the Chapel's Allen Renaissance Organ.
