It's the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation! To celebrate: an organ concert, of course! Come hear a collection of repertoire by established composers alongside brand new music composed for the organ this year. In the spirit of "reformation", the program will alternate back and forth between established and new pieces, illustrating a reform of sorts in the organ repertoire over the centuries. Come hear beautiful harmonies, extended techniques, and a piece for organ and electronics!
