Organ Recital Series - Robert Parkins

Robert Parkins is the University Organist and a Professor of the Practice of Music at Duke. His recordings have appeared on the Calcante, Gothic, Musical Heritage Society, and Naxos labels, and his performances described as “stylistically informed and musically exciting...fresh and spontaneous, transforming the music from museum artifacts to living works of beauty ” (The Diapason). This season’s recital will feature “German Organ Music of Three Centuries,” including music by Buxtehude, Bach, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Reger, and others. Performed on the Flentrop organ, this will be the final program in the Duke Chapel Organ Recital Series until 2016-2017.
