Rescheduled from summer 2020, I'm so glad to be able to perform in the beautiful retreat setting of Sinsinawa Mound retreat center's chapel. This event will be presented both in-person and live-streamed at http://www.sinsinawa.org/live. Admission is FREE.

The program title is "Making Space." Let's be inspired to make space for divine inspiration as we hear this pipe organ's many musical voices in community, singing music from diverse times, people, and places.

I'm honored to again play the closing segment on this year's French Organ Music Festival! Co-sponsored by the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the Greater Kansas City chapter of the American Guild of Organists, this annual event celebrates music by French composers. The motto is, "Reste comme tu veux, pars quand il te” ("Stay as you wish, leave if you must." Come enjoy the entire afternoon with me! Talented colleagues will play half-hour segments beginning at 2pm. I'll conclude the Festival at 4:30pm with a performance of the dramatic and exciting Suite pour Orgue, Op. 5, by Maurice Duruflé.

I played the dedicatory concert at St. Cornelius, and this Western Kansas girl has been delighted to return to Dodge City each year since then to continue to celebrate this unique gem of a pipe organ, built by Casavant Frères! Repertoire and concert start time will be posted as soon as they've been determined. Check back here soon!

My western Kansas tour continues with a performance in Liberal, KS. Repertoire will be posted here soon!

Admission is FREE.

I'm honored to be chosen to play the inaugural recital at the new pipe organ designed by Casavant Frères for the beautiful new St. Wenceslaus church.
