Guadalupe Shrine to host organ recital series

Some of the country’s best organists will come to La Crosse this summer to perform at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe as part of the 2012 Sunday afternoon organ recital series.

The six organ recitals begin June 3 with Christoph Bull, organ professor at UCLA, who will perform nine fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bull is a concert pianist and organist who has performed all over the world.

“The summer organ recital series at the shrine brings a remarkable collection of organists from all over the country to La Crosse,” said organizer Brian Luckner, director of music and organist at the Shrine and the Cathedral of St. Joseph the Workman. “Most hold the position of music director, organist or professor at a major institution of worship or higher education and are outstanding performers. Many perform recitals throughout the United States and Europe. The fact that they choose to come to La Crosse provides the local community a great opportunity to hear them at a very convenient location.”
