samedi 28 décembre 2013 / Saturday 28th December 2013 16h 30 / 4:30 pm - Adrian Foster organ/orgue Music for Epiphany Musique pour L'Epiphanie

Concert Review
A sizable crowd was treated to a vast array of music for Epiphany by Christ Church's Assistant Organist, Adrian Foster. Many of the works were by contemporary french masters: Tournemire, Messiaen & Langlais, but the programme also featured works by Helmut Walcha and Ned Rorem. Adrian had this organ sounding its absolute best by carefully choosing sounds and adjusting articulations to achieve astounding clarity and weight in his performance — something the acoustics of Christ Church greatly demand from the organist. With audience members coming as far as from Atlanta and even New Zealand, this celebration of Epiphany music was greatly enjoyed by all. Truly; a wonderful selection, interpretation, and execution of all the music. Bravo for such an enthralling performance of Rorem's Ocean of Light !

samedi 21décembre 2013 / Saturday 21st December 2013 16h 30 / 4:30 pm - Patrick Wedd orgue / organ La Nativité du Seigneur (1935) Messiaen

Concert Review Patrick Wedd presented a spectacular interpretation of Messiaen's "La Nativité du Seigneur" on Saturday. His artful mastery of Messiaen's unique harmonic and rhythmic language, coupled with carefully selected registrations that Dr. Wedd tailored especially for the Christ Church organ, shone a new light on this festive favourite. Christ Church has now taken to projecting the organist in the loft onto a screen at the front of the church, thus allowing all a spectacular view of a top-notch performance of this incredible work. Acclamations for the final movement — Dieu parmi nous. Bravo, Patrick!  samedi 21décembre 2013 / Saturday 21st December 2013 16h 30 / 4:30 pm Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal Ste-Catherine / University.
