Wrapping up MusicFest NW, the 2013 Organ Adjudicator, Mark Brombaugh, will present a concert at St. John’s Cathedral at 4 p.m. May 19 as part of the cathedral’s Mostly Second Sunday Concert Series.
While his program includes works by Bach, Dupre, de Grigny, Scheidemann and Percy Whitlock, Brombaugh is featuring the second performance of Tacoma composer, David Dahl’s “Festive Prelude” on the Welsh hymn-tune, Cwm Rhondda, according to a press release. Commissioned by Warren Guykema for his birthday, Dr. Thomas Clark, guest organist at Christ Episcopal Church, Tacoma, will give its premiere performance on the morning of May 19.
Brombaugh is co-director of Music Ministries at Christ Episcopal Church in Tacoma, a position he shares with his wife, the Rev. Kathryn Nichols.
Brombaugh’s concert appearances as organist and harpsichordist have taken him throughout the United States, including convention recitals for the American Guild of Organists and Organ Historical Society. As a clinician he has led workshops and master classes for the American Guild of Organists, Presbyterian Association of Musicians and the Hymn Society of America.
Tickets for the performance are $10, available at the door.
