Come hear the Dobbs Ferry Lutheran Church Organist, Nicolas Neff, play on our newly renovated organ! Nicolas Neff studied the organ as a piano major at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry in the early 90’s. He also took organ lessons at Grace Episcopal Church, White Plains, while studying at the Music Conservatory of Westchester. Nick started as the Organist for DFLC in 2016 – a church that he loves for its musical heritage, especially compositions by Martin Luther. Last year, the organ had much needed renovations and an oboe was added, thru a generous gift from Nick and his late mother, Barbara Neff.
