Chancel Arts Concerts at Kent Lutheran presents organist/pianist Nathan Jensen at 3 p.m. Nov. 24. The program features the church’s newly installed, partially configured Hutchings/Plaisted, Opus 78, pipe organ.

Jensen attended Pacific Lutheran University as a music major. He transferred to The Evergreen State College where, under an independent contract, he studied musical composition with Timothy Brock.

Jensen’s parents were both ELCA Lutheran pastors, as such church music was a natural vocation for him.

Shortly after graduating from The Evergreen State College, he became organist and choir director at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Olympia until the year 2000 when he moved to Seattle. He became organist and choir director at First Lutheran Church in Bothell until 2005. He then became organist and choir director at St. John United Lutheran Church where he is still employed.

In addition, Jensen was an organist for St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Ballard for three years. Jensen’s principal teacher on the organ was David Dahl in Tacoma.

Jensen also is a pianist for ballet classes. He began this sort of work at the Johansen School of Ballet in Olympia, then in Seattle at the American Dance Institute. He is now an accompanist for classes at the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle.

Nathan is a piano tuner and member of the Piano Technician’s Guild. He maintains the pianos at for a number of churches, St. Mark’s Cathedral, the Pacific Northwest Ballet as well as music teachers and music lovers of all types.

Kent Lutheran Church is at 336 Second Ave S., Kent.

Tickets are $12.50 at the door or in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com.

Intermission refreshments, including a wine bar, will be available for pre-purchase.
