Organ enthusiast Joe Vitacco, who led the efforts to[ restore the 1930s Kilgen pipe organ](/blog/news/after-nearly-seven-years-a-renewed-1930s-kilgen-pipe-organ-returns-to-our-lady-of-refuge) at [Our Lady of Refuge Church](/?s=Our+Lady+of+Refuge) (2020 Foster Avenue), has sent us a couple videos of the [beautifully restored musical instrument](/blog/art-music/keeping-up-with-our-lady-of-refuges-pipe-organ) – which will be played by world-renowned musicians at a concert series that kicks off Friday, September 5.

Tickets for each of[ the three concerts ](/blog/art-music/world-renowned-musicians-to-play-concert-series-at-our-lady-of-refuge)will be $15 if purchased online and $20 at the door. If you purchase a ticket online, it will be mailed to you two weeks before the performance. The church has said it is preferred to purchase them online, especially because the events are likely to sell out. They can be purchased online [here](http://www.olrbrooklyn.org/organ-recitals-in-new-york-city/?ref=bklyner.com).
