S. Bach, Handel, Biber and Buxtehude.

He also teaches piano in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/music\/prepprog\/\">preparatory music department<\/a> at EMU. <\/p>\n<p> Fast received a BA degree from Bethel College, N. Newton, Kan., and an MM degree from Indiana University. <\/p>\n<p> An active church musician, he is currently organist and choir director at Park View Mennonite church, Harrisonburg, and previously was organist at Asbury United Methodist Church and First Presbyterian Church, Harrisonburg. <\/p>\n<p> Admission to the concert is free, but donations are welcomed for the EMU music department student scholarship fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Fast and Joan Griffing Photo by Jim Bishop The Eastern Mennonite University department of music will present a faculty recital 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7, in Martin Chapel of <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2006\/music-profs-to-give-concert\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about Music Profs to Give Concert<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5183],"tags":[9146,7094,6019,17216,8494,8545,7608],"feature":[],"class_list":["post-1219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","tag-harpsichordist","tag-joan-griffing","tag-john-fast","tag-music","tag-nathan-bontrager","tag-pedro-aponte","tag-shenandoah-symphony-orchestra"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
