SOMERS - Organist Christopher Houlihan has won wide acclaim for his performances all over North America. The Wall Street Journal cited his “dazzling performances,” the New York Times praised his ‘flexibility and clarity,” and the Los Angeles Times dubbed him an “eloquent musician.” A graduate of Trinity College, on Nov. 2 at 4 p.m. Houlihan brings one of his trademark fiery performances to his hometown of Somers at the Somers Congregational Church. The program will feature works by Bach, Vierne, Sowerby, and Widor. Somers Congregational Church is home to a new Richards, Fowkes & Co. Opus 21 organ that was beautifully restored after the devastating fire in 2012 and was dedicated this September. Admission is by free-will donation.

Antonio; Detroit; Hartford; and Los Angeles with members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Brass at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
