John S. Dixon, Composer and Organist

Please join us at National City Christian Church on Friday, November 21, at 12:15 p.m., for our free weekly Music at Midday concert. We are delighted to be welcoming organist and composer John S. Dixon, who will perform a program of his own works:

• Grand Entrée
• From a Green and Pleasant Land (Gospal; O Waly Waly; Thaxted)
• From the UK to the USA (Fanfare on "America")
• From Across the Fruited Plain (Holy Manna; Materna; The Steeple Fugue)
• In Celebration of Thanksgiving (Variations on "Now Thank We All Our God")
• Grande Sortie

Born in England in 1957, John Dixon learned to play the pipe organ and started composing music while at high school. He moved to Virginia in 1988 and became organist at his church ten years later. Having composed seriously since 1990, John now has more than a thousand works to his credit, for organ, choir and orchestral ensembles, from which the pieces on today’s program have been selected.

If you are unable to join us in person, you may view a livestream on our YouTube channel (Friends of National City Christian Church) or on our Facebook page (National City Christian Church). You may also view a recording afterwards at those same sites.
