An organist renowned in Britain, Thomas Trotter's widely admired skill has been flourishing from a young age. He was organ scholar at King's College, Cambridge, winning the First Prize at the St Albans International Organ Competition in his final year. The UK's Daily Telegraph raved 'His playing captured the energy and lyricism of the work, culminating in a furious cadenza for pedals alone in which Trotter displayed some truly fancy footwork.' Join us for an afternoon of superb organ performance as Trotter makes his Verizon Hall debut!
There is an 8-ticket limit per patron, per production on individual tickets.
All ticket holders to this event are invited to attend a pre-concert lecture with Michael Barone, host of American Public Media's PIPEDREAMS, and Thomas Trotter at 2:15pm in Verizon Hall.
All artists and programs subject to change.
