Former Trinity organist Garletts to offer free concert at Uniontown church Oct. 1
Organist Gary P. Garletts will bring over four decades of experience to a free concert at Trinity United Presbyterian Church in Uniontown on Friday, Oct. 1.
A conductor, organist, accompanist and administrator, Garletts was the former music director at the church from 1982-1993. He also taught piano lessons there and served as the director for the Great Uniontown Chorale for several years.
His performance, at 7:30 p.m., is in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the building. It will include a variety of composers, a memorial tribute to former Trinity pastor the Rev. Dr. John K. Sharp, and a collaboration with the Trinity Ringers Hand Bell Choir.
A reception will follow.
Since 1999, Garletts has been director of music and organist at Ardmore Presbyterian Church, and Artistic Director-Conductor of Chester County Choral Society. Both are located in suburban Philadelphia.
He also leads a six-choir program and provides music for all services at Ardmore.
Garletts has returned to Trinity occasionally to offer recitals, most recently in 2013 with harpist Janet Witman.
