Casting aside the organ as a church instrument, the modern composers use it as a freakin’ crazy sonic delivery system. Soft or loud, intricate or bombastic, tonight features the mighty Wurlitzer in all its glory. Music by William Bolcom, Eva Houben, Arvo Part, Louis Vierne, Olivia Block, Herman Nitsch, George Cacioppo, and Fats Waller. Plus some long-lost Merry-Go-Round medleys.
