MMMH 75th Annual Summer Recital Series - Scott Lamlein

Cited by The American Organist magazine as infusing his music with “virtuosic flair and fire,” Scott Lamlein’s organ performances bring a unique emotional and spiritual inspiration to his audiences. In demand as a concert artist, Scott has performed in the United States and Canada, as well as Europe, where he will return this summer to play at St.-Sulpice in Paris. As Director of Music and Organist at St. John’s Episcopal Church, in West Hartford, CT, Scott directs a Royal School of Church Music affiliated Youth Choir and semi-professional Adult Choir, as well as presenting organ masterworks in Sunday services. He also serves as artistic director of the church’s Music at the Red Door concert series, which annually presents a music exploration camp for underserved children in neighboring Hartford.
Scott has three CDs in current release—The Organ at Worship, and In Quiet Joy: Music of Advent and Christmas, and a CD of his piano compositions, entitled Peace. His compositions are often featured as part of the online Jesuit daily podcast, Pray as You Go, and his organ compositions have been published by Lorenz.  Scott is a 1994 graduate of the Hartt School, University of Hartford, where he studied organ with John Holtz and Larry Allen. Active as an organ instructor for over 25 years, he serves on the faculty of the Hartt Community Division, where he specializes in organ education for pianists.
