Hansen, the blind organist Of Indianapolis, will give an organ recital Friday evening, August 30th,, at the 'Presbyterian church. The occasion will be the dedication of the fine new $2,500 pipe organ which Mr. B. Forsythe so generously gave to the church and the installment of which has just recently been completed. Mr. Hansen has been an organist in Indianapolis for over twenty-five years. He has played on hundreds of organs and given dedicatory recitals similar in nature to the one to be given here, all over Indiana, and in many of the states of the central west. He is one of the leading organists of the state. In his musical experience he has committed to memory thousands compositions and innumerable accompaniments for church and concert singers and has the greatest repertoire of any musician in the state. His playing is always finished and absolutely correct both in reading and interpretation. His coming is looked forward to with much anticipation among music lovers of Rensselaer and no doubt a great crowd will attend the recital.
