It is difficult to think of a hymn festival without associating the name of John Ferguson with the experience. Each year he is invited to design and lead such events in churches across the country and the world, as well as at regional and national conventions of the American Guild of Organists and the American Choral Directors Association. Although himself a Lutheran, his festivals are ecumenical celebrations drawing upon the greatest treasures of Christian song from many centuries, traditions, and styles. John Ferguson is a long-time professor of organ and church music at St. Olaf College.
Ticket prices are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors, $12 for OLLI members, and free for all students and children.
Tickets may be purchased at the church Mon.-Thurs. from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to Noon by check or cash, or online with a credit card or PayPal account. Also available at the door the evening of the concert if tickets remain.
