Stephen Tharp, hailed as “the organist for the connoisseur" (Journal für die Orgel, Germany) and “the consummate creative artist" (Michael Barone, Pipedreams), is recognized as one of the great concert organists of our age. He has performed concerts around the globe and is much sought after as a champion and interpreter of new organ music. The Music Series is overjoyed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Cooper Memorial Gress-Miles Organ with Mr. Tharp and to enjoy, once again, the beauty and strength of this glorious instrument played by one of the world’s most lauded organists.
