Advent/Christmas Organ Recital by Organist Karla Devine

Karla Devine is Organist and Director of the Chancel and Children's Choirs at Trinity Lutheran Church, Manhattan Beach. Karla is a soprano with Camerata Singers of Long Beach and the Artistic Director of the Trinity Lutheran Church Concert Series. She did her graduate work in Basel, Switzerland, and at the University of Minnesota. Karla's annual Advent/Christmas Recital is a South Bay favorite tradition.

The organ at Trinity Lutheran, Manhattan Beach is a mechanical-action "tracker" instrument built by Dobson Pipe Organ Builders, Ltd. of Lake City, Iowa. The only other Dobson organ in the Southland is the magnificent instrument in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, downtown. Among the premier American organ builders, Dobson recently built the organ for Philadelphia's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and is building an organ for the Washington National Cathedral.
