Social Media Influencer Brody Bett in Concert this Friday

The Bach’s Lunch Series of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Southern Pines, will feature 15-year-old musician and social media influencer Brody Bett in concert at 12 Noon this Friday, December 5th.  Bett will perform on the 2015 C.B. Fisk, Opus 145, pipe organ. 

Brody’s varied concert will be balanced with works by pillars of the classical organ repertoire such as Dietrich Buxtehude, George Frideric Handel, and Leon Bollemann.  Yet, his program will feature the freshness and excitement that current young organists are bringing to the instrument, with Bett’s transcriptions of Sommarfagel, Carol of the Bells, Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Wizards in Winter, and his Movie Meme Mashup that has thrilled audiences.

Brody Bett is a highly sought after multi-instrumentalist and singer who plays a wide variety of instruments including piano and the pipe organ. He fell in love with the "king of instruments" at age six and it is his biggest passion. Since then, he has traveled the country playing some of the world’s largest pipe organs including the famous Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, the Midmer-Losh in Atlantic City, Salt Lake City Tabernacle, Disney Concert Hall, and the Hazel Wright Organ at Christ Cathedral in California.    

Brody has been the guest artist for the Greensboro Symphony, featured half time artist for the NFL Carolina Panthers and performed for the L’Organo Series at The Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC.

He will perform a concert for the American Guild of Organists National Convention in St. Louis in June 2026. 

Brody is the music director and organist for Irving Park United Methodist Church in Greensboro NC. 

Bett has a large following on social media, with hundreds of thousands of followers, where he posts organ and music videos. His goal is to spread the beauty of the pipe organ and bring in people who may have never heard or been interested in them. He especially wants to reach young people and be an inspiration and advocate for these beautiful instruments.

In addition, to Friday’s Bach’s Lunch concert, the parish will host a musical Advent Service of Lessons and Carols, featuring The Emmanuel Choir, at 5 P.M. on Sunday, December 7th.

All are welcome and both events are free of charge.
