Organ and piano recital Sunday afternoon continue Crescent Avenue's 175th anniversary celebration

Crescent Church's new organist, Cameron Kuzepski,
will give a welcome recital this afternoon.

Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church (CAPC) continues to mark its 175th Anniversary with an organ and piano recital this afternoon (October 6) by its new organist and choir director Cameron J.S. Kuzepski. The recital is at 3:00 PM. A reception to meet Mr. Kuzepski will follow.

Kuzepski, a student at Juilliard (on Saturdays) is a rising senior at Cab Calloway School of the Arts in Wilmington, DE, his hometown.

The 18-year-old wunderkind began his formal music studies at the age of 7, after having been mentored by a preschool teacher at a Presbyterian church in Wilmington where the music director allowed him to play the organ.

“I fell in love with [the organ] and have been playing ever since,” he said. In addition to the piano and organ, Kuzepski is also accomplished at the cello and harpsichord.

Kuzepski already has two organ gigs under his belt before coming to Crescent Avenue --he has been the organist and choirmaster at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Wilmington and also at St. James Episcopal Church in Newport, Delaware.

Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church Pastor Lynn Santulli says, “We are very excited to see what God has in store for us here as we launch a whole new program of music that builds on our traditions and opens us to fresh voices and new ways of bringing incredible music to our church and our community."

The concert is free and all are invited (there will be a free will offering to support the music program at CAPC).

Historic Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church is as the corner of East 7th Street and Watchung Avenue (716 Watchung for GPS). Parking available at Swain Galleries across the street, in the church lot on First Place, or on the street. CAPC is a handicap-accessible facility.

For more information on CAPC or its music program, call the church office at (908) 756-2468 or visit the website at  www.crescentonline.org/.
