Advance registration required. Registration information will be available starting Feb. 15.
The Malmgren Concert Series hosts the first public concert featuring the newly installed organ for Syracuse University’s Catholic Center. The 24-stop organ was originally built by California builder Greg Harrold in 1995 for the computer engineer Alan Kay at his home in Los Angeles. When Mr. Kay decided to downsize, he graciously gifted the instrument to Syracuse University so that future generations could learn from it and enjoy it. Modeled on eighteenth-century building practices and sounds, the organ is a visually and aurally stunning complement to the Catholic Center’s new St. Thomas More Chapel.
University Organist Anne Laver performs with the Hendricks Chapel Choir and dancers from the Meagan Woods Collaborative, featuring music by Bach, Buxtehude, Vivaldi, Natalie Draper, and a new work by José “Peppie” Calvar.
This concert is the culminating event in the third annual Syracuse Pipe Organ Festival, co-sponsored by the Syracuse Chapter of the American Guild of Organists and the Setnor School of Music in the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
