Opening Performance of the Complete Bach Organ Series 2016-2017

Saturday, March 5, 2016
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Before his untimely passing in August of 2015, John Scott often spoke of his desire to perform a cycle of the complete organ works of J.S. Bach on the gallery organ at Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue. As a tribute to their mentor and to celebrate the completion of the Taylor and Boody organ, Stephen Buzard and Benjamin Sheen are undertaking this project in a monthly recital series beginning March 5, 2016.

Admission to this recital is free, but a free-will offering will be taken to benefit the Miller-Scott Organ Fund.
