Organist Isabelle Demers to Perform at Westminster Presbyterian Church

The Organ Artists Series (OAS) of Pittsburgh will present organ virtuoso Isabelle Demers at 4 p.m., on Sunday, March 13, at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Upper St. Clair. The concert is co-presented with theWestminster Music & Arts Series.

A native of Québec, Ms. Demers is rapidly becoming one of North America’s most virtuosic organists. She has performed across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia, and also is a heralded recording artist. She currently serves as organ professor and head of the organ program at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

Bulletin des Amis de L’orgue, Québec City, described her command of the organ as “Daring and fresh…interpreted with infinite poetry…mind-blowing toccata confirmed her tremendous talent. With her idiomatic style and her solid technique, Isabelle Demers is an artist outside the norms, or dare I say, beyond any competition.”

Ms. Demers will begin the concert by performing works by J.S. Bach (1685–1750), Sergei Prokofiev (1891–1953), Henry Martin (b. 1950), and Max Reger (1873–1916). Following an intermission, she will continue with music by William Walton (1902–1983), J.S. Bach, Rachel Laurin (b. 1961), and George Thalben-Ball (1896–1987).

A reception with light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will follow the concert. Tickets—available in advance or at the door—are $12. Student tickets are free with valid ID.
