The inaugural concert of the new Cathedral organ will take place on Friday, May 1, 2026. Get your tickets now, as this will be a capacity event. The instrument, handcrafted by master builders from the Juget-Sinclair shop in Montreal, Quebec, is a new musical landmark in the region, combining elements of the German Baroque and French Romantic traditions.
Our internationally renowned concert artist, Dr. Isabelle Demers, is a native of Québec and a doctoral graduate of the Juilliard School, and is Associate Professor of Organ at McGill University (Montréal, Québec). With playing described as having “bracing virtuosity” (Chicago Classical Review) and being “fearless and extraordinary” (Amarillo-Globe News), she has enraptured critics, presenters, and audience members around the globe. She has appeared in recital throughout Europe, Oman, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada; and has released multiple CD recordings on the Acis and Pro Organo labels. Don’t miss this historic event for the Cathedral and Sioux Falls community!
