Maurice Clerc is the Emeritus Organist at Dijon Cathedral, following a 46-year tenure as the cathedral’s titular organist. He has performed over 1,300 recitals in twenty countries, solidifying his international acclaim and reputation.

Our organ recital series features some of the finest organists playing one of America’s great organs. Grace Cathedral’s 7,466-pipe Aeolian-Skinner instrument, the Charles B. Alexander Memorial Organ (1934), is one of the first and finest American classic-style organs and is among the largest church organs in the West. Experiencing music in our gothic cathedral with its unique acoustics, soaring nave, and jewel-like stained glass windows is a feast for the ears, eyes, and soul.

Registration is encouraged but not required.
