Summer Concerto - The "Jongen"!
On July 28, 2010, Gordon will perform the 'King-Kong' of organ concertos with the NJ State Opera Orchestra, in the Ocean Grove Auditorium. The spectacular "Sinfonie Concertante" requires a large symphony orchestra, and is a concerto that is very rich in its harmonies, orchestral colors and rhythms...it's a 'feast' for the ears!
New CD has Arrived!
Gordon's latest CD - "Masterworks from Ocean Grove Auditorium" is now available here online. Some pieces of this recording will be familiar, others will present some delightful surprises. The music of this CD spans three hundred years and displays many of the vast colors of this instrument.
