Description
Featuring both the Loening-Hancock and Miller-Scott organs, Assistant Organist, Nicholas Quardokus, performs music from the German tradition. Quardokus pays homage to the centuries-old organ chorale heritage from Bach to Distler and Buxtehude to Reger, juxtaposing masterworks from the Baroque, late-Romantic, and Neoclassical eras. The program, framed by Bach’s monumental partita on Sei gegrüsset, Jesu gütig and Reger’s thunderous fantasia on Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn, promises to be a kaleidoscopic exploration of both world-class organs at Saint Thomas Church.
