The final date in last season's Madison Symphony Orchestra Concert Organ series, featuring principal organist Greg Zelek with the Diapason Brass and Timpani, is currently bumped forward another season, to 2021-22. However, Zelek will open the 2020-21 season with a free virtual concert featuring works by French composers including Léon Boëllmann, Claude Debussy and César Franck. Register here.

press release: Madison Symphony Orchestra is excited to announce two virtual organ performances this fall to kick off our 20/21 Organ Season! On Tuesday, October 13, Principal Organist Greg Zelek presents an all-French program, followed by the return of the Grammy-award winning Paul Jacobs to Overture Hall on Tuesday, November 17. Registration for both FREE performances opens on September 27!

Oct. 13: The season opens with César Franck’s powerful Pièce Héroïque, followed by works by some of the most prolific and important French composers. After relaxing to Zelek's arrangement of Debussy’s Clair de Lune, the program closes with Boëllmann’s well-known Suite Gothique that ends with a rousing Toccata. "I am excited to share these musical gems that have cemented the great value of the French school of organ composition for centuries," says Zelek.
