October 16 Guest Organ Recital by Thomas Murray

Memorial Chapel, Sunday, October 16, 4:00 P.M. Free admission.

Thomas Murray is, without question, one of America’s foremost concert organists. The American Guild of Organists named him “International Performer of the Year” in 1986, and he has performed and lectured at six national conventions of that organization. He was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College or Organists (United Kingdom) in 2005, and he was presented with the Distinguished Service Award by the Organ Historical Society in 2010. In May 2011, the American Guild of Organists arranged a special gala recital by Murray at Yale, both as a fund-raiser for the AGO Endowment Fund and to honor Murray’s lifetime achievements in the organ profession. Come and hear why he is so revered as a recitalist! His playing and the romantic/orchestral organ at Culver are a superb match!
