French Originals
On March 29, of this year, Gordon played another concert on the delightful French-styled organ in the Union Church of Pocantico Hills, NY. Situated in the lovely hills above the Hudson river, this charming church contains the only stained-glass windows in a church of the USA by French artists Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse. Gordon was consultant for the design of the organ, and has played three concerts there with an 'accent' on French organ repertoire.
New CD coming SOON!
A new CD - Gordon Turk on OG Auditorium organ, recorded last fall, will be released in early summer. Music of Bach, Boehm, Reger, Franck, Guilmant, Boellmann -a surprise, and Jongen. Exciting classics, and some subtle charms.
