Organist David Ball and Friends play Bach and Friends
Christ Cathedral Organist David Ball presents a program of the most beloved organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries – from the flashy pedalwork of Nicolaus Bruhns to the monumental Passacaglia of J. S. Bach, and featuring performances by Dr. John A. Romeri, Dr. Ricardo Soto, and the Organ Scholars of Christ Cathedral. As a grand finale, three other keyboard instruments will take the stage with the Arboretum’s pipe organ for a spectacular performance of Bach’s rarely-performed Concerto for Four Unaccompanied Keyboard Instruments!
The Arboretum’s legendary pipe organ “Fred” was crafted by the famed Aeolian-Skinner company of Boston, Massachusetts, and is dedicated to Frederick Swann, the former Crystal Cathedral Organist who was responsible for its installation. As we anticipate the re-installation of the Hazel Wright Organ, take advantage of this unique opportunity to hear the 4,949 pipes of the Arboretum’s world-class pipe organ accompanied by three other keyboard instruments in a thrilling program of the virtuosic music of J. S. Bach and the most renowned composers of his era.
