The following was submitted by the First Congregational Church:

Live in-person and live streamed from the historic Sanctuary at First Congregational Church, Winchester, come celebrate two important historical events on Friday evening, March 21, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The organ extravaganza celebrating Winchester’s 175th anniversary and Johann Sebastian Bach’s 340th birthday will feature four of Winchester’s best organists: Jeffrey Mead, First Congregational Church; Jeremy Bruns, Parish of the Epiphany; John Kramer, Winchester Unitarian Society; Jane O’Keefe, retired, St. Mary’s Parish.

Residents will gather for a special organ recital, exploring the colors, sounds and registrations of FCC’s C. B. Fisk, Opus 50, known as “Winchester Old,” a kaleidoscope at the organists’ fingertips.

As we honor Winchester’s 175th, join us for Bach’s Birthday Bash; it promises to delve into the profound beauty and influence of Bach’s music, featuring not only the music of the composer himself – but also music influenced by and inspired by the old master.

Tickets;  $20, general admission; Students, $5. – both live and live-streamed.

To the Editor: To my eye, the revised design for 972 Main St. is an improvement on the previous — approved — one. It appears now to be made of a single material (one hopes all in a single color,) and with a much more unified massing of parts. The earlier design
