Organist Phillip Kloeckner will present a free organ recital at 12:15 p.m. on October 1 featuring works by J.S. Bach, George Whitfield Andrews, and Denis Bédard. He will reprise Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 547, and Andrews’ “Con Grazia,” from the September 29 Centennial Concert. He will also play the dynamic, jazz-inflected “Suite du premier ton” by Bédard, a contemporary French-Canadian composer. “Plein jeu” brings forth a rich sound. “Dialogue” sets up a musical conversation between the organ’s different instrumental voices. “Récit” features a solo organ voice in a distinctive, expressive melody. “Grand jeu” has the organist literally pull out the stops for a dramatic and powerful effect.
Tickets are not required for this 30-minute performance.
