Bringing back an old tradition that has been renewed, talented organist Joseph Peeples will be playing an organ selection piece which Piping Up! fans determined through a recent social media poll. The concert finale music selection will include all five organists—through the magic of modern technology—performing Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto no. 3, mvt. 3 (Allegro) together using the same organ! The stream will also feature behind-the-scenes views and explanations of Temple Square organs and rehearsal spaces by the organists.
The new organ concert series, Piping Up: Organ Concerts at Temple Square, will stream at 12:00 p.m. MT on Wednesdays. Each concert will feature a different Tabernacle or Temple Square organist. A PDF of the organ concert programs will be posted online on the organ concert event page for all patrons who are interested: tabchoir.org/pipingup
(Please note: this event is filmed without an audience.)
Noon organ recitals have been a tradition on Temple Square for more than a century. The current pandemic has halted this tradition temporarily, but now via the internet the noon organ recitals will resume without an audience but with full COVID-compliant precautions. The five accomplished Tabernacle and Temple Square organists Richard Elliott, Andrew Unsworth, Brian Mathias, Linda Margetts, and Joseph Peeples will be featured in a new concert series. The concerts will be presented each week on Wednesday at 12:00 noon MT.
