Midday Music for Organ 4/26: CU Music

Midday Music for Organ: Annette Richards and David Yearsley An end-of-semester celebration, with music by Franck, Vierne, Dupré, Messiaen and Ives.

Focussing on the French virtuoso tradition, with American offshoots, this program performed by the Cornell University Organists celebrates the beauty and power of the Aeolian-Skinner organ. From the 3^rd Chorale of César Franck to the perennial end-of-year favorite, Ives’s Variations on America, the program promises to move, inspire – and amuse – as the 2022-23 school year comes to a close.
