Custom musical arrangements of Americana classics and patriotic tunes will be accompanied by powerful videos for a Veteran’s Salute Concert at First Presbyterian Church on Sunday, November 9 at 4 PM.  This unique blend of music and video is presented by trumpeter Sergeant Major (retired) Chuck Seipp, and Washington D.C.’s National Presbyterian Church organist Todd Fickley.

Seipp is retired from a 32-year career as Concert Band Group Leader in The United States Army Band, “Pershing’s Own.” He performed at national, presidential, and historical world events, at concerts and special events in Washington, D.C.  Additionally, he has toured and recorded with world–renowned organist Diane Bish, appearing regularly on her “Joy of Music” television series. Seipp is Adjunct Professor of Trumpet at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia and holds an undergraduate music education degree from The University of Kansas and masters and doctoral degrees in trumpet performance from The Catholic University of America.

Todd Fickley is equally comfortable at the podium, harpsichord, piano, and organ. His career spans over 35 years across the United States, Europe, and Israel.

A free-will offering will be taken to benefit the FPC Concert Series (suggested donation: $12)
