The concert is open to the public and free of charge. This event is part of the 44th annual Richner-Strong Church Music Institute at Colby College.

His first CD, a recording of French symphonic organ literature, was released in January 2000. Foster is associate organist at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church and coordinator of the Piccolo Spoleto Organ Series, both in Charleston, S.C.
