 Organist William Peterson will perform music from the WWI era with an emphasis on works that were included in a six-volume anthology published in Brussels after the end of the war. The program features music by Louis Vierne, Camille Saint-Saëns, Joseph Jongen, Jacques Ibert and others.
Emeritus faculty member, Peterson is a local favorite and former College Organist at Pomona College. He has played concerts throughout the United States and has been heard “Pipedreams” broadcast by American Public Media.
The Hill Memorial organ, built in Bridges Hall of Music in 2001 by C.B. Fisk as Opus 117, is a distinctly eclectic organ with three-manuals, 66 ranks and over 3500 pipes. Read more about Opus 117.
