An organ performance by Richmond’s Dr. Elizabeth Melcher Davis, Assistant to the Rector for Music Ministries at Grace and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, will be broadcast nationally and worldwide on the radio program of American Public Media’s “Pipedreams.” Her performance of “Variations on B-A-C-H for Pedals” will be featured on “Pipedreams” Program No. 1428, “From the Mailbag,” in a broadcast by Noel Rawsthorne and will also be available online beginning July 14. Dr. Melcher Davis’s performance was recorded at Grace and Holy Trinity Church on March 12, 2007.

Dr. Melcher Davis also recorded a CD, “Pageant,” at Vienna (VA) Presbyterian Church in 2001 and was previously featured on “Pipedreams.”  Her performance of “Concert Etude for Pedals Alone” by Dr. John Weaver was included in Program No. 0717, “The Weaver’s Tale.”
