The chamber organ was designed by Peter Collins Organs (UK) to a specification for Bernard Thomas, publisher and performer with London Pro Musica. Dated 1978, it is a single manual “organo di legno” (wooden pipes) with 8′, 4′ & 2′ flue pipes, and a 16′ regal.
Joel Bacon is the Stewart and Sheron Golden Chair of Organ and Liturgical Studies and the Fr. Don Willette Chair of Catholic Studies at CSU. As a concert organist, his recent performances have focused on music by W. A. Mozart, Herman Berlinski, and Petr Eben, as well as works for organ and orchestra. His teaching and research centers on topics related to Catholicism and the creative arts, especially Gregorian chant.
GAMA’s free Music in the Museum Concert Series explores the cross-fertilization of music and the visual arts through concerts in the galleries. Performances by Colorado State University music faculty and students are enriched with context provided by faculty and students from the Department of Art and Art History and the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance.
Support for this event comes from DATA (Denver-area Art-alumni Transforming the Arts) for GAMA at CSU.
