repertoire, from Sweelinck and the music
of 17th-century Northern Germany,
through music of 19th- and 20th-century
France, to the music of today. She has
played recitals at major American venues, as well as on many
historic organs in Germany. She has played at seven national
conventions of the Organ Historical Society and a regional

heard on the nationally syndicated radio program "Pipedreams."
Rhonda studied in Germany with Harald Vogel, Hans-Ola

Marilyn Keiser, John Chappell Stowe, Edward Zimmerman, and
her father Ronald Sider. She has a Master' s degree in Organ from
Indiana University, a Bachelor's degree in Piano from Wheaton

Hochschule ft.ir Ktinste/ University of the Arts in Bremen,

her graduation recitals. She helped lead an educational tour for the
European chapter of the American Guild of Organists in 2011 to
