About The Event
Presented in conjunction with Trinity Music
(Part I: Saturday, October 16 | Part II: Sunday, October 17) Over the course of two evenings, we will be treated to the six organ symphonies of Louis Vierne (1870-1937). Blind from birth, Vierne’s talents were nurtured by César Franck at the Paris Conservatoire. Over his lifetime, Vierne cultivated a refined and formal musical style that perfectly suited the great symphonic organs of the era.
Vierne's six symphonies, an important high water mark of late Romantic music for the organ, will be performed by concert organist Eric Plutz. Mr. Plutz comes to us as part of a continental tour, playing Vierne’s masterpieces on many of the great organs of North America.
