Eddie Zheng, organist, in recital
The tradition of musical programs in Lent goes back many decades at St. Bart’s and we’re delighted to continue the tradition with these 40-minute organ recitals. A large-screen monitor will enable the audience to sit under the Celestial organ, an ideal listening spot in the nave, while still enjoying an up-close view over the organist’s shoulders and of the pedalboard. Eddie Zheng is a New York native and rising star in the world of concert organ music, currently studying at the Juilliard School.
