A piece of Music & Arts history.

In 2003, Olivier Latry played the inaugural recital on the Mander organ at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church. More than two decades later, we’re getting ready to welcome him back.

This original recital program offers a glimpse into Latry’s first performance here, and makes his return on October 25 all the more special.

Internationally acclaimed French organist and longtime titular organist at Notre-Dame in Paris, Latry has built a remarkable career as a performer, improviser, and adventurous musician.

We’re excited to hear what he brings to the Sanctuary this time around.

Join us Sunday, October 25 at 7:00 PM as Olivier Latry opens the 2026–2027 Music & Arts season.

A few moments from a very special evening at Peachtree Road.

On September 13, our church community gathered to celebrate Scott Atchison and his remarkable 44 years as Director of Music and Choirmaster at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church.

Through beautiful music, special guests, heartfelt reflections, and the dedication of the great organ in his honor, the evening was a meaningful celebration of Scott’s years of leadership and service.

As we look back on this memorable night, we are grateful for the music, traditions, and lasting legacy Scott has shared with our church community for more than four decades.
