Organ Recital by Mitchell Miller (In-Person and Livestream)

August 6, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Free

Join us for a recital of Romantic and Modern American and European works by up-and-coming organist Mitchell Miller. Enjoy the lush and colorful orchestral sounds of Grace Cathedral’s grand Aeolian-Skinner organ, ideally suited to this program.

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.
