Tonight at Symphony Hall there's a concert for organ and orchestra, featuring Boston Symphony Orchestra organist James David Christie with the New Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Ronald Knudsen. That's just the first of four days of public concerts and recitals being held in conjunction with the American Guild of Organists regional convention. On Thursday night there's a recital by Diane Meredith Belcher at The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and on Friday a brass and organ program at Trinity Church. Also on Friday, Old South Church will host a showing of the 1926 silent film “Old Ironsides” with improvised organ accompaniment by Peter Krasinski.
