Midday Music for Organ: This week’s program takes us to the chamber organ in Barnes Hall, created by Munetaka Yokota and colleagues at the Göteborg Organ Art Center (Sweden) in 2003 on models from central Germany c. 1700. Doctoral student Nathan Mondry offers a selection of pieces by three of the most celebrated German organist-composers in the years around 1700, including Dietrich Buxtehude (d. 1707) from the northern city of Lübeck, Johann Pachelbel (d. 1706) from the southern city of Nuremberg, and Johann Kuhnau (d. 1722), J. S. Bach’s predecessor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig.

Compliance with the university's mask mandate will be required for all audience members.
