Organ Recital by Grace Chung
July 7, 2024 at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco

Join us for a special collaborative organ concert with LA-area organist and composer Grace Chung and friends on violin and cello. Together they play classic chamber works, as well as a variety of solo organ repertoire.

Our organ recital series features some of the finest organists playing one of America’s great organs. Grace Cathedral’s 7,466-pipe Aeolian-Skinner instrument, the Charles B. Alexander Memorial Organ (1934), is one of the first and finest American classic-style organs and is among the largest church organs in the West. Experiencing music in our gothic cathedral with its unique acoustics, soaring nave, and jewel-like stained glass windows is a feast for the ears, eyes, and soul.
