Madison Symphony Orchestra principal organist Greg Zelek.

The Madison Symphony Orchestra’s Concert Organ Series kicks off its return to in-person concerts with a heavy hitter: the Organ Symphony No. 6 in G minor of Charles-Marie Widor. All five movements will be performed by the MSO’s principal organist, Greg Zelek, who calls it a work of “grand symphonic proportion.” Zelek will open the concert with a transcription of “Nimrod” from Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Note: The MSO also welcomes guest pianist Olga Kern for concerts on Oct. 15-17; find details on all performances at madisonsymphony.org.

media release: Join Principal Organist Greg Zelek for the exciting opening of the 21/22 Organ Season in Overture Hall on Tuesday, October 19. Greg Zelek is increasingly recognized as one of the most exciting young organists in the American organ scene and has been the Principal Organist of the Madison Symphony Orchestra and Curator of the Overture Concert Organ Series since September 2017. Zelek will perform Widor’s Sixth Organ Symphony, a five-movement masterpiece including two of his most performed movements of all of his symphonies. The performance closes with a transcription of Elgar’s Nimrod.
