Crosby holds a Bachelor of Music in flute performance and music education from Temple University, where she later earned a Master of Music in music history; she is currently pursuing a Master of Science in education through the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
Wimer is organist and choir master at St. Stephen Reformed Church in New Holland and president of Buch Organ Company in Ephrata.
The concert will showcase many classical pieces from the 19th and 20th centuries, including "In the Shadow of Thy Wing" by Alisa Bair, based on Psalm 63, and "Eliza's Aria" from the ballet "Wild Swans" by Elena Kats-Chernin.
The concert is free and open to the public, though a freewill offering will be received. A portion of the offering will go to the rebuilding of Tanzania's Busoka Lutheran Church, which was destroyed by an earthquake. Busoka is a companion congregation of St. Peter's Lutheran Church.
