Paolo Bordignon, organist, in recital
Ring in the new year with a fun and festive concert at 11 pm, followed by a champagne reception at the stroke of midnight. Hear organ favorites like Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in D Major and Vierne’s Carillon de Westminster played with the console out front-and-center. With over 12,000 pipes sounding into the resplendent nave from both sides of the chancel, the rear gallery, and even above in the dome, the dynamic range and vast color palette of the Æolian- Skinner organ at St. Bartholomew’s is an experience to behold in person, enveloped by one of the world’s largest musical instruments.
