Chelsea Chen Organ Concert

Hear the “rare musicality” and “lovely lyrical grandeur” (Los Angeles Times) of guest organist, Chelsea Chen, on the newly completed St. Cecilia organ at the Church of the Transfiguration in Orleans, MA on Saturday, August 20 at 7:30 p.m. The concert is a part of the Celebratory Concert Series for the Completion of the St. Cecilia Organ—an instrument restored by Nelson Barden of Boston that is comprised of parts of twenty-seven different E. M. Skinner organs, includes over 12,000 pipes, and is the only one in the world with its particular surround-sound configuration.

“The E.M. Skinner organ at the Church of the Transfiguration is a masterpiece of balance of harmonics, voicing, scale and color that is just overwhelmingly breathtaking.”—Organ Historical Society
