Randy Steere, organ

About this event

Organist Randy Steere plays a program of surprising, seldom-heard, and new works on our Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ that stand out for their passion, drive, and beauty. From female baroque composer Von Bayreuth (a contemporary of Bach) and seldom heard pieces by Saint-Saens, Jongen and Lanquetuit to new works by Heron and Gawthrop, this program will feature absolutely wonderful gems that deserve more attention. Of course the most dramatic organ composition from our old friend, J.S. Bach, will be included as well!
