Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

<p>Concert organist Dr. Nathaniel Gumbs, director of music at New York’s storied Riverside Church, presents a thrilling organ recital for Trinity Cathedral’s Catherine Crozier Memorial Organ Recital on<b> Friday, April 24 at 7:00pm</b>. Dr. Gumbs’ program features several beloved treasures of the organ repertoire by Charles-Marie Widor, Sigfried Karg-Elert, Felix Mendelssohn, and César Franck, plus American composer Florence Price’s monumental <i>First Sonata for Organ.</i></p>
<p>Dr. Gumbs has served in multiple large parishes and churches and, until his recent move to New York City, served as Director of Chapel Music at Yale University. He maintains an active career as a concert organist with engagements across the country; <i>The New York Times </i>praised his playing as “mature, lyrical, accurate, and energetic,” noting that his performance was delivered “deftly and with feeling.” Recently, he released his first organ solo project entitled <i>King of Kings: Organ Music of Black Composers, Past and Present</i>.</p>
<p>Dr. Gumbs' program is one of true excitement and versatility that will allow both his innate energy and prodigious technique to shine, and Trinity’s landmark <a href="https://www.trinity-episcopal.org/rosales-organ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rosales pipe organ</a> could not be better suited for such a beautiful program. </p>
<p><b>Dr. Catharine Crozier</b>
(1914-2003), was Artist-in-Residence at <a href="https://www.trinity-episcopal.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Trinity Episcopal Cathedral</a> for much of the last decade of her life, and was one of the most admired and sought-after American concert organists of the 20th century. Dr. Crozier was a pioneer among women in a field once heavily dominated by male performers. Her legacy supports our annual <b>Catharine Crozier Memorial Organ Recital</b>, which brings brilliant concert organists from across the globe to Trinity.</p>
<p>Trinity's pipe organ, built by <b>Manuel Rosales</b> and installed in 1986, is one of the finest pipe organs in North America. We celebrate its 40th anniversary this year with a series of concerts and events - stay tuned for more information!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.trinity-episcopal.org/trinity-music" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><b>Trinity Music</b></a> is the professional music program of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, comprising the Cathedral Schola, Trinity Choir, and Choir School, a concert series with nationally recognized guest artists, and the acclaimed Rosales organ, all in one of Portland's finest acoustic spaces.</p>
