Programme Note
Stravinsky is not often attempted on the organ, but Isabelle Demers has created a transcription of his second suite from 1919. This exciting and sensuous music will be performed at St. Martin’s in Houston on the 106 rank Schoenstein organ. Mendelssohn’s Overture from St. Paul is a dramatic piece that makes technical demands on the player, and will be played on the Letourneau organ at Baylor University.
This recital is part of Organ Festival Canada Hamilton. Canada's premier organ festival features Canadian and international performers presenting a range of recitals and workshops. This year's online Festival also includes the National Organ Playing Competition finals. Attendees will receive a unique link via email, allowing access to the event until 30 September 2021.
