APRIL NOON-TEN CONCERTS AT ST. LUKE’SOur Spring Noon-Ten Concert series concludes with organist, Marya Fancey.
Scholar-performer Marya Fancey uses her research to bridge temporal and cultural gaps in music for students and audiences. She received a 2017–2018 Fulbright Student Research Award to Poland for Historical Music Performance to support her dissertation research on organ masses from the Tablature of Johannes of Lublin (ca. 1540) and performed three mass cycles with Flores Rosarum in Krakow. She has presented at meetings of the Historical Keyboard Society of North America and the SE chapter of the American Musicological Society. Her interest in the scholar-performer model arose from masterclasses with
Marie-Claire Alain, Olivier Latry, John Grew, William Porter, Hank Knox, and Edoardo Bellotti at multiple McGill Summer Organ Academies between 2005 and 2015.
She has performed at festivals in the southeastern US and Poland and frequently incorporates works by under-appreciated composers in her programs. In 2016 Marya Fancey introduced Polish audiences to the music of Florence Price and David Hurd at the Podlaskie Organ Festival and the 18th International Festival of Organ Music at Pelplin Cathedral. In 2015 she premiered the rediscovered Passacaglia and Triple Fugue
(organ) by Louise Talma.
Marya Fancey holds the DMA degree in Organ Performance from UNC Greensboro with certificates in Historical Keyboard Performance and Music Theory Pedagogy. She is lecturer in organ at UNCG and organist at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Greensboro.
All are welcome! The concerts are free, with free-will offering opportunities.
