Each year, one selected artist for the center's organ recital series is a Program in Sacred Music alumnus or alumna. This season, we welcome Emma Whitten. She is an accomplished organist specializing in early Baroque and contemporary repertoire. An alumna of the University's Program in Sacred Music, she performs the program, A Spotless Rose: Marian Works for Organ, music celebrating the Blessed Virgin Mary from the early Baroque to the present. Highlights include Dietrich Buxtehude's Magnificat for organ and a stunning fantasia on the Salve Regina by Dutch composer Margaretha Christina de Jong.
