"O Danny Boy, the Pipes are calling"
New pedal pipes have just been built and installed in the OG auditorium organ, Fourty-four deep toned Open Wood pipes will give a "Firm Foundation" to the pedal division, and some French-influenced Harmonic Flute ranks are being built right now for the Swell Manual...these pipes are certainly calling me! See Performance page for recital details.
This spring has been busy with recitals in various locations on interesting organs. Lots of music continues, of course, at St. Mary's Church, and especially during Holy Week. Still more spring concerts and then I'm off to Ocean Grove for the summer.
"Virtuoso playing...impeccable artistry... standing ovation" - The American Organist
A critically acclaimed concert organist, Gordon Turk
has performed throughout the United States, Europe, Russia, the Ukraine, and Japan. His international
tours have included solo recitals in concert halls,
cathedrals, and universities, organ festivals, and
concerts with orchestras.
He has been awarded competition prizes for
performances of the music of J.S. Bach and also
in the national improvisation competition of the
American Guild of Organists.
Dr. Turk is Organist of Ocean Grove, NJ Auditorium,
which houses one of the largest pipe organs in the
United States, and Organist-Choirmaster of
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Wayne, PA.
His interest and experience in organ building places
him in demand as a consultant for the building of
new pipe organs and restorations of older and
historic organs.
