Grace Cathedral's 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.
The recital will be streamed live from this page, but let us know you’re coming by “buying” a free ticket, and if you can, making a gift with your registration. Thank you for bringing the arts to life at Grace!
