The Mendelssohn Bach recital of 1840

Jeremy David Tarrant, organ
Friday, March 28, 7:30 p.m.

Felix Mendelssohn was amongst the greatest advocates for the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and worked tirelessly to bring this music before public again after a period of severe neglect following the master’s death. One of his most important efforts was an organ recital of Bach’s music given in St. Thomas Church, Leipzig in 1840 where Bach had been Kantor from 1723-1750. Jeremy David Tarrant recreates this program on the Cathedral’s grand pipe organ. The audience will be able to see the organist in action via large screen. Suggested donation at the door: $10 (adults); $5 (students and seniors).
