Organ by Night: Shari Shull
Free
- Shari Shull, organ
Organ by Night offers informal mini-concerts introducing generations of Seattleites to the power and beauty of a real pipe organ. All are welcome to listen in the nave, or join the organist in the loft to see what playing an instrument of this size is really like. (The radio program The Organ Loft, which airs on KING-FM immediately following Compline each week, was inspired by this tradition) A Q&A in the loft usually follows the performance.
The new iteration of this offering, called "Organ by Night," will be offered once a month, on the third Sunday of each month.
Note: The decision to include these informal presentations on the Compline livestream is left to the discretion of the organist. Some prefer not to, for a variety or reasons. The choice to livestream Organ by Night or not will typically not be announced in advance.
