New! Annual Celebrity Organ Recital
Inaugural Concert: James O’Donnell plays Bach’s Clavierübung III (1739)
Chamber Series
A revered interpreter of the music of J.S. Bach, James O’Donnell is Professor of Organ at Yale University and former Organist and Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey. In this inaugural concert, O’Donnell will present a rare performance of Bach’s Clavierübung III in its entirety—considered by many to be among Bach’s finest collections. On a par with examples such as the Musical Offering, Art of the Fugue, and the Goldberg Variations, you’ll hear Bach at perhaps his most directly theological, human, and revealingly introspective. The performance is begun and concluded by successive glorious movements comprising what later became popularly known as the “St. Anne” Prelude and Fugue.
