Organ Recital Series: Thomas Murray

Thomas Murray is "more than an organist, he's an artist" (San Francisco Chronicle). For many years as the University Organist and a Professor of Music at Yale University, he has taught many of the leading performers of a younger generation. Prof. Murray has appeared worldwide in recitals and with orchestra, including six national conventions of the American Guild of Organists, which named him International Artist of the Year for 1986. Widely known for his interpretations of Romantic repertoire and orchestral transcriptions, he will perform on the Aeolian organ.
