Please join us for a thrilling program of blockbuster French organ music, including César Franck’s dramatic Choral in A minor, Jean Langlais’s colorful Medieval Suite, and Charles Tournemire’s fiery Easter improvisation on Victimae paschali laudes. The recitalist is Maurice Clerc, organist emeritus of Dijon Cathedral.

Our organ recital series features some of the finest organists playing one of America’s great organs. Grace Cathedral’s 7,466-pipe Aeolian-Skinner instrument, the Charles B. Alexander Memorial Organ (1934), is one of the first and finest American classic-style organs and is among the largest church organs in the West. Experiencing music in our gothic cathedral with its unique acoustics, soaring nave, and jewel-like stained glass windows is a feast for the ears, eyes, and soul.

Starting on March 12, there will be an admission fee for visitors on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. Those wishing to attend the organ recital must register in advance to avoid paying the fee. Thank you for your understanding.
