Jan Kraybill solo organ concert: "French Connections"
Heritage Center, University of Dubuque, 2000 University Ave, Dubuque, IA 52001
The John and Alice Butler Pipe Organ at the University of Dubuque was built by Dobson Pipe Organs in and debuted in April 2021. I'm pleased to present a free, half-hour recital on this instrument, part of a summer series featuring its unique capabilities.

My program, titled "French Connections," features three dramatic works that celebrate French organists and organ-builders and their influences on our own time.
Planned repertoire:
CHARLES-MARIE WIDOR (1844-1937): Intermezzo, from Symphonie pour Orgue No. VI
MARY BETH BENNETT (b. 1954): Hommage à Langlais: Song of Peace in a Time of War
MAURICE DURUFLÉ (1902-1986): Prélude et Fugue sur le nom d’ALAIN (Prelude and Fugue on the Name ALAIN)
