OGCMA Presents "Fanfare and Trumpetings" Concert for Organ and Brass
Concluding its popular “Summer Stars” classical music series, the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association (OGCMA) will present Organist-in-Residence Gordon Turk and the Philadelphia Brass in a program entitled “Fanfare and Trumpetings." The concert will feature works for organ and brass by J.S. Bach, Jean-Francois Dandrieu, Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Marcel Dupre, Eugene Gigout, Erik Satie, Louis James Alfred Lefebure-Wely and Charles-Marie Widor.
Gordon Turk is a critically acclaimed concert organist whose “athletic performance brings lots of flair to the organ console” (Flint Journal). His playing is “a seamless integration of interpretation and virtuosity” (Newark Star Ledger), and “it is a moving experience to hear him” (New York Times).
Dr. Turk has performed throughout the US, Europe, Russia, Ukraine, and Japan. His concert tours, both in the USA and abroad have included solo recitals in concert halls, universities, cathedrals and churches, performances in organ festivals, and concerts with orchestras. He has been awarded competition prizes for performances of the music of J.S. Bach and was also a winner in the national improvisation competition of the American Guild of Organists. He has presented masterclasses for organ interpretation and improvisation in the United States and abroad.
