PAUL JACOBS, ORGANIST

Annual Memorial Organ Recital

Sunday, October 7, 4:00 p.m.

Paul Jacobs, one the youngest and most sought after organ recitalists throughout the US and abroad, has been applauded across the globe for his phenomenal technique and memory, his charismatic stage presence and his huge repertoire spanning five centuries. He has performed the complete organ works of J. S. Bach on several occasions, and the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen in numerous marathon concerts across the United States. He is Chairman of the organ department at Juilliard School of Music, New York City.

 

"If there is such a thing as an organ prodigy, Paul Jacobs seems to be it...a major-league talent."

Gramophone

 

"Virtuosity always has its appeal. But when combined with an unbridled joy of music making, an intensive desire to get beyond bravura to the truly important stuff, things really heat up...an ideal mix of technical brilliance and interpretive power."

The Baltimore Sun
