In celebration of the bicentennial of César Franck's birth, renowned concert organist Scott Dettra will play Franck's 12 major organ works from memory in 2 free recitals at 4:30 and 7:30.
Franck’s organ music—arguably the most significant contribution to the repertoire after that of Bach—broke new ground and charted the course of the French Romantic organ school. Thanks to his mature harmonic language and ability to write achingly beautiful melodies, this music has become an enduring foundation of the organ repertoire.
Praised for the clarity, rhythmic intensity, and musical elegance of his playing, Mr. Dettra will bring his hallmark poeticism and suave sense of expression to this beloved music, which is rarely performed live in its entirety.
A video screen will allow the audience to watch Mr. Dettra play, and a French meal will be served (at a cost) in the Welcome Center between the concerts.
