April 11, 2027 | Sunday, 4 p.m.Recital: Chelsea Chen, organist
Internationally renowned for her concerts of "rare musicality" and "lovely lyrical grandeur," Chelsea Chen is among the most distinctive organists performing today. A graduate of The Juilliard School and a Fulbright Fellow, she has composed original works and adapted music ranging from major classical repertoire to Taiwanese folk songs for the organ. Her wide-ranging programs are celebrated for their imagination and musical electricity. She performs on First Church's two extraordinary instruments: the four-manual 1931 Kimball organ and the 1972 Beckerath Gallery organ, in the heart of downtown Columbus.
