Organist, composer, and conductor, Alcée Chriss III will work with current organ students, listen to each student’s prepared repertoire, and provide active feedback about their technique and artistry. The class will be open to the public for observation, giving audiences a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the process of learning and rehearsing organ repertoire, as well as the mechanics of Northrop’s Aeolian Skinner organ. The class will also include a short demonstration and audience Q&A.

Event is wheelchair accessible.
