Robert Parkins's farewell recital at Duke features repertoire he performed at dedicatory concerts of the Chapel's Brombaugh, Flentrop, and renovated Aeolian organs-including early Spanish and south German music as well as works by Scheidt, Buxtehude, Pierné, Franck, and Gigout.University Organist and a Professor of the Practice of Music, Dr. Parkins was first appointed Duke Chapel Organist in the fall of 1975. His solo recordings have appeared on the Calcante, Gothic, Loft, Musical Heritage Society, and Naxos labels. The last release (Salome's Dance) elicited the following remark from The American Organist: "His playing is elegant, with a freely flowing musicality that goes far beyond mere technical mastery."
There is no charge for admission. Paid parking is available on a first-come-first-served basis in the Bryan Center Garage at 125 Science Drive. ADA parking is available in the surface lot at the same address.
