The first program was derived primarily from the Friday and Saturday night concerts at Sacred Heart Cathedral and Christ Church, and though we return to those venues here, briefly, our main focus is on Sunday afternoon theatre organ performances at the Rochester Auditorium Theatre. Additional performances from that venue, by David Peckham ("No Remaining Seats"), and Jonathan Ortloff with Allan Ward ("Clang, Clang, Clang"), are available in CD format, too. This 'encore' program was broadcast originally in April 2010 as #1014.
