The 20th anniversary of Overture’s Orgelbau Klais concert organ is the organizing theme for the upcoming organ season from the Madison Symphony Orchestra. The opener showcases the artistry of Paul Jacobs, the first organist to have ever won a Grammy and MSO principal organist Greg Zelek’s teacher at Juilliard. Jacobs will play a varied program that includes Franz Liszt’s gargantuan Fantasy and Fugue on the Chorale Ad nos, ad salutarem undam, and American composer Charles Ives’ Variations on America.
