An Evening in Paris: an organ recital by Jean Herman Henssler

You are cordially invited to “An Evening in Paris”, a recital by Jean Herman Henssler, which was recorded on our recently renovated organ, and premiered on our YouTube channel on November 15th. Click here to go to the recital video.


She played works by Gigout, René Vierne, Louis Vierne, Franck, Bossi, Whitlock, Mulet, and Bourgeois. Tune in to experience the glorious, dramatic, and whimsical music of Parisian organists, with side trips to England and Italy.
