Charles Griffin holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Music from Temple University, where he was a student of both John Binsfeld and the late Dr. J. Earl Ness. Mr. Griffin has performed throughout the eastern United States and has been featured as part of the Tuesday Noon Recital Series presented by the Curtis Organs Restoration Society at the University of Pennsylvania, the Candlelight Concert series at Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg, VA, and the Tuesday Noon Series of the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, of which he is a member.

The program included a variety of works to demonstrate the 28-rank Moller pipe organ - Bach, Brahms, Handel and Widor's "Toccata" from the Fifth Symphony.

Admission to the recital was free but a free-will offering was taken to benefit the restoration of the organ's console, built in 1951. Reception and refreshments followed the recital.
