1710 Knoller organ at Stiftskirche Mariä Himmelfahrt, Ossiach, Austria

From an historic monastery in Austria to Princeton University chapel, this week’s show features the work of three composers who happen to be born under the sign of The Twins [as in astrology, not baseball]. We’ll hear a Sonata for Organ and Strings by Daniel Pinkham, Gospel Preludes and a Princeton premiere by William Bolcom, and tantalizing toccatas from the 17th century by Georg Muffat. Join in as we celebrate their 80th, 65th and 250th late spring birthdays with a chest full of Gemini Jewels.

…modest instruments can achieve maximal satisfaction, as proven by these organs which posses no more than twelve stops each.

…the energetic Viennese organist and conductor shares some of his innumerable enthusiasms.
