Wyatt Smith, organ
None other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart dubbed the pipe organ as “The King of Instruments”, so who are we to argue! Organist extraordinaire Wyatt Smith gives us a private look at the inner workings of the seventeen rank, two manual tracker organ at Epiphany Episcopal Parish in Seattle by acclaimed builder Martin Pasi. Dr. Smith curates our organ exploration with a menagerie of North German organ music by Dietrich Buxtehude, Samuel Scheidt, Franz Tunder, and J.S. Bach.
The broadcast will be available at 3pm Pacific.
