Organ students to present recital/hymn-sing

Saint Mary's junior Jordan Ranstrom of Warren, Minn., prepares for his performance on the Kilgen organ in Chapel of Saint Mary of the Angels.
Five organ students from Saint Mary’s will present a recital/hymn-sing today, April 27, at 12:30 p.m. in the Chapel of Saint Mary of the Angels, located at Vila and Wabasha streets. Joshua Korver, Jacob Carlson, Jordan Ranstrom, Nathan Maskal and Gregory Bim-Merle will be featured on selections spanning traditional to contemporary periods of organ repertoire — from G.F.
