In Recital, Timothy Brumfield, organ

Friday, 02 March, 2012

Renowned organist, arranger, composer and producer Timothy Brumfield will perform on The University of Scranton’s historic pipe organ on Friday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the Houlihan-Mclean Center. Admission is free and open to the public.

Brumfield currently serves as director of music and organist at Christ Church Riverdale in the Bronx, New York. Previously, he served as cathedral organist at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City from 2002-2009. As organist at the world’s largest Gothic Cathedral, he performed with distinguished artists such as pianist Dave Brubeck, drummer Max Roach, and legendary folk singer Judy Collins, among others.

For his March 2 performance, Brumfield will perform on the University’s Austin Opus 301 Symphonic Organ, which is one of a very few authentic examples of early 20th-century American symphonic organs. Built in 1910 for the church that occupied the building that would later become the University’s concert hall, the 3,178-pipe instrument was meticulously restored by Patrick J. Murphy & Associates in 2005.
