In the first of this two-part performance series, Raymond Nagem, Associate Organist at St. John the Divine and C. V. Starr Doctoral Fellow at The Juilliard School, presents Olivier Messiaen's "Apparition de l’Église éternelle" and "La Nativité du Seigneur." Organist, pianist, composer, and visionary, Messiaen wrote music of vivid color and intense contrasts, ranging from delirious joy to profound stillness. In the cathedral’s famous acoustics, underneath soaring Gothic arches, these meditations on the drama of Christ’s birth and resurrection take on spectacular power.
