Organist Thomas Sheehan, Director of Music at Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal, appears at St. James by-the-Sea in a free recital presented in connection with the American Institute of Organ Builders Convention. The program places the Rosales/Parsons pipe organ before an audience of organ builders, musicians, and listeners who know exactly how much craft, engineering, voicing, and imagination live inside a great instrument. Admission is free, making this a rare opportunity to hear a major North American cathedral musician in a recital shaped for people who live and breathe pipes, wind, and color.
