Chapel Concert March 7
Providence Place’s free chapel concert on Sunday, March 7 was a resounding success! It featured accomplished organist Monica Czausz on the chapel’s rare Skinner Pipe Organ. Her choice of music includes works by Bach, Franck, Schroeder, Sanders and Gigout.
Currently a 16-year-old sophomore at Chicopee High School, Monica began studying piano at six and the clarinet and flute with Kevin Noble at nine.
Her organ studies began a year and half ago with Peter Beardsley, director of music at Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral in Springfield.
Monica is currently taking vocal lessons with Beth Ayn Curtis. Her career includes membership in the Western Mass District Chorus, the Tuesday Morning Music Club, and the Springfield Symphony Chorus, where she has the distinction of being one of the Chorus’ youngest members.
