Music Worcester Presents: Peter Krasinski, organ

Peter Krasinski performs an afternoon of Bach’s organ works for the second annual BACHtoberfest weekend. The afternoon highlights Bach’s secular and sacred organ works, and continues THE COMPLETE BACH’s annual tradition of recitals for organ. Featuring the Mechanics Hall’s Hook Organ, an institution in Worcester for more than 160 years, this performance allows the listener to experience the robust sound and feeling of a pipe organ.

In 1863, Elias and George Hook began the installation of the custom-built instrument, fit perfectly for the Great Hall. The Hook Organ is made up of 3,504 pipes and 52 stops. Listeners flock to hear this organ played, both for its history and for its intensity and story. Hear the Great Hall fill with sound at this afternoon organ recital.

Please note: program, venue, time, and artist are subject to change.
