2022 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of César Franck (1822-1890), one of the most important and influential composers for the organ. His twelve published works for Grand-Orgue lie at the center of a developing French romantic organ as envisioned by the pioneering work of organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

Franck’s twelve works will be performed by three organists in a series of three, one hour-long concerts held on a single day; Saturday 10 December (the actual day of his birth).

The schedule for these concerts is as follows:

Concert I Erik W. Goldstrom 2:00 PM
Reception / Olney Gallery 3:00 PM
Concert II James Gerber 4:00 PM
Intermission  5:00 – 7:00 PM

A wide range of dining options is available within walking distance of the cathedral

Concert III Kimberly Marshall 7:00 PM

Please join us for one or more of these free concerts; or better yet,
come and make a day of it!
