First Presbyterian Church of Oakland will host a concert series, “Arts Under the Spire,” as the church celebrates 100th anniversary of its building.

All concerts will feature the church’s Rosales Opus 16 organ.

The first concert will take place Friday, Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. with resident organist Cyril Deaconoff and local percussionist Breanna Baker. The Halloween family-style concert will feature songs from the Beatles, Bach Toccata and Fugue, Messiaen, Litaize and an arrangement from Phantom of the Opera.

This concert will also be a pre-release party for Deaconoff’s new album, “From Bach to Beatles.” The entire album was recorded on the 140-year-old Johnson Organ at St. John’s in San Francisco.

The second concert will be hosted on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 4 p.m. with German-American organist Karen McKinney. Chamber instrumental and vocal music will be performed and will feature award winning local vocalist Marilyn Reynolds.

On Sunday, Dec. 14 at 4 p.m., the “Sing Along Messiah” will serve as a restoration of a tradition at First Presbyterian.

The last concert will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 7:30 p.m. featuring Grammy-award winning organist Jonathan Dimmock.
