Before the Concert: Italian Organ Music Masterclass

On Wednesday, September 21 at 7 PM, we invite organists to participate in a masterclass on Italian music given by Eugenio Maria Fagiani on the historic 1868 Erben organ at the Basilica. Mr. Fagiani, a highly-regarded Italian organist, composer and recording artist, is an authority on music by Italian composers.

In this free masterclass, the focus will be on Italian composers of the Romantic and Classical eras such as: Filippo Capocci, Marco Enrico Bossi, Giuseppe Ferrata, Padre Davide da Bergamo, Giovanni Morandi, Ulisse Matthey, Oreste Ravanello, Gaetano Valeri, Niccolò Moretti, Pietro Morandi, Pietro Yon, as well others. Music by ancient masters such as Girolamo Frescobaldi is also welcome in the masterclass. There are a limited number of spots to play available; organists who wish to observe are also welcome, but there are limited spots in the loft.
