Organist Gail Archer Continues her Centenniel Celebration of Olivier Messiaen February 24, 2008

Gail Archer, Americas premier professional female contemporary organist, devotes a season-long concert series to the 100th birthday of French composer/organist Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992). In honor of one of the greatest organist composers of all time, Archer takes us on a Messiaen musical journey exploring all six of his complete organ works, while showcasing six of Manhattans superior church organs starting January 13th with Nativite'du Seigneur at Church of the Heavenly Rest and ending May 29th with Livre du Saint Sacrement at St. Patricks Cathedral. Known for complementing Messiaen works with technical prowess, Archer continues her dedication by serving as the only organist to perform his works on six different instruments throughout New York City.
