Organ Studies faculty Cherry Rhodes and alum Christoph Bull (MM ’93, organ performance) joined an elite group of organists for a birthday celebration of the Walt Disney Concert Hall’s organ, Hurricane Mama, with a concert on Nov. 23. The program, which featured nine performers, was reviewed by music critic Mark Swed in the Los Angeles Times. “The organ demands a special strain of creativity,” wrote Swed. “That comes partly from the many-keyboarded monster’s magnificent degree of tonal versatility. Every organ is different; every organ has a vast number of sonic possibilities; and very few organ pieces expressly notate exactly what stops to use.”
