On Friday, September 12, 7 p.m. at FaithLife Lutheran Church in Marion, Daniel Ficarri will give what is sure to be an astounding concert on the historic E.M. Skinner pipe organ. The event is free and open to the public and appropriate for all ages. A reception will follow. The concert is sponsored by the St. Mark's Lutheran Church Foundation in cooperation with the River Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
Named one of the top “20 under 30” organists by The Diapason, Daniel Ficarri (b. 1996) is Associate Director of Music and Organist at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC and a composer of organ, choral, and chamber music.
A native of Pittsburgh, Daniel moved to New York City in 2014 to study with Paul Jacobs at The Juilliard School (where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees). Since then, Ficarri has made appearances in concert halls and houses of worship around the world, from Carnegie Hall to Westminster Abbey. By the age of 18, he performed live on WQXR as a soloist in their Bach Organ Marathon; and by the age of 23, he was presented as a soloist at Lincoln Center under the baton of Marin Alsop in Samuel Barber’s Toccata Festiva. Other orchestral engagements have included concerts with the Boston Symphony, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, the Florida Orchestra, and the Juilliard Orchestra, conducted by Itzhak Perlman, Andris Nelsons, David Robertson, James Gaffigan, and Bernard Labadie.
