THE KING OF INSTRUMENTS

Annual Summer Organ Concert Series at The Riverside Church 

 

After a two year pause we are excited to once again present the summer concert series which spotlights one of the largest and most acclaimed organs in the world, featuring outstanding organists from across the country pulling out all the stops performing a mixed variety of repertoire from traditional music to orchestral transcriptions. Audience members can watch the performers, normally hidden from view, via video projection, all in the air conditioned nave of the historic Riverside Church. This year includes a screening of a silent film comedy classic starring Buster Keaton, with live organ improvisation.

 

Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm on June 28, and July 12 through August 2, preceded by carillon recitals at 6:30pm.
