A private organ recital for 6 with Grace Cathedral's Christopher Keady, Assistant Director of Music.

Prepare to be swept away as your group of 6 regales in the beauty and majesty of a Christopher Keady's organ recital.

Christopher performs using Grace Cathedral's 7,466-pipe Aeolian-Skinner instrument, the Charles B. Alexander Memorial Organ (1934). It 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.

Special Notes:

  • Must be scheduled two months in advance
  • Mutually agreeable dates
  • Date to be confirmed pending local and state health guidelines
