Independence Day Organ Recital
Saturday, July 4 11 am
Cathedral organists Scott Dettra and Christopher Jacobson entertain with a program of organ pyrotechnics that is as patriotic as it is nostalgic. The all-American program opens with Copland’s stunning Fanfare for the Common Man and includes singing of the National Anthem. This year’s program marks the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln with a rare organ performance of Copland’s Lincoln Portrait. Also not to be missed is The Stars and Stripes Forever, played by four hands and four feet! Learn more & buy tickets »
General admission at the door is free, and the concert will be webcast live.
