Ken Cowan is admired for the skilful way in which he showcases the entire range of an organ’s sonic characteristics thanks to his artful registration. Performing several flagship works from the repertoire, he will explore the many facets of the Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique: its symphonic power, its romantic side, its meditative aspect, and, naturally, its virtuosity. Bringing together three centuries of music and covering four countries, this concert offers a captivating array of major works for organ.
