St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church, Carmel Valley, is delighted to present a recital by its new Director of Music, Dr. Frederick Burgomaster, playing compositions selected specifically to draw out the dramatic qualities of the church’s Dobson tracker pipe organ.
Dr. Burgomaster’s program will showcase organ music spanning five centuries, featuring composers from Germany, France, England, and the United States. The performance will conclude with the vibrant Toccata by Leo Sowerby. Composers highlighted in the program include Dietrich Buxtehude, J. S. Bach, Johannes Brahms, Kenneth Leighton, and the French virtuoso organist and improviser Jean Guillou.
In addition to his role at St. Dunstan’s, Dr. Burgomaster serves as Canon Organist and Choirmaster Emeritus of Christ Church Cathedral, Indianapolis. He has conducted major works for chorus and orchestra and has composed several anthems for mixed chorus. As an organist, he was a finalist in the Bruges International Music Competition and has performed recitals throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
