Renowned organist to perform at Westminster Church
Aug. 25
Organist Paul Jacobs
The Music & Arts Series of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Upper St. Clair, presents renowned virtuoso organist Paul Jacobs at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 25, in the sanctuary.
A native of Washington, Jacobs returns to the church where at age 23 he played all of Bach’s solo organ works to mark the 250th year of the composer’s death. That 18-hour marathon concert in 2000 laid the foundation for Jacobs’ remarkable career, which includes the only Grammy ever awarded for a solo organ recording. Jacob, who performs widely throughout the U.S. in solo recitals and with symphony orchestras, heads the organ department at Julliard and works tirelessly to promote traditional and contemporary classical music in our culture.
Suggested donation is $15; students are free. A reception follows the concert.
