Cathedral Associate Music Director Raymond Nagem will perform the complete organ sonatas of Felix Mendelssohn in a single concert on May 2, 2017. Mendelssohn’s sonatas, both colorful and passionate, broke new ground for the organ when published in the 1840s, and have been a cornerstone of the repertoire ever since. This program offers a rare opportunity to hear all six sonatas together, played with drama and power by Dr. Nagem on the cathedral’s magnificent Æolian-Skinner organ.
