Nathan Laube, Organ Concert Sunday, Jan. 25th, 3 p.m. Renowned worldwide for his artistry and infectious passion, Nathan Laube stands at the forefront of today’s concert organists. His performances have lit up stages from the Vienna Konzerthaus and London’s Royal Albert Hall to Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the great cathedrals of Paris and Dresden. Equally celebrated as a teacher and innovator, Laube brings both history and imagination to life—whether inaugurating landmark instruments in Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral or guiding new generations of musicians at the Eastman School of Music, where he serves as Associate Professor of Organ. His collaborations with leading artists, acclaimed recordings—including a GRAMMY-winning project with the Nashville Symphony—and his documentary radio series All the Stops on the WFMT Radio Network reveal a musician deeply devoted to sharing the wonder of the organ’s voice with audiences everywhere. With every performance, Nathan Laube invites listeners into a world of beauty, brilliance, and boundless musical possibility. Please come and to hear this talented organist! (free will donation)
