Cathedral Concert: Amadeus Concert Ensemble – Organ Spectacular

The Cathedral Concert Series is proud to present Amadeus Concert Ensemble, under the direction of ACE Artistic Director Brian Salesky, in a program titled ORGAN SPECTACULAR, featuring internationally renowned organist Dr. Byongsuk Moon.

The concert marks the first time the Cathedral’s monumental Casavant Freres ORGAN will be accompanied by an ORCHESTRA. The organ will be featured in the Knoxville premieres of Rheinberger’s Organ Concerto No. 2 and Stamm’s Celtic Pleasure, along with Respighi’s Canticle. Three works by Händel open the concert: the regal March and bombastic Battle Music from Rinaldo, the heavenly “Eternal source of light divine” from Birthday-Ode for Queen Anne, and the vivacious “Iris, hence away” from Semele. Alto Diana Salesky is the vocal soloist. Completing the program will be Vivaldi’s thrilling Concerto for Two Trumpets featuring trumpeters Sarah Fellenbaum and Dr. Brett Long, and Mouret’s beloved First Suite de Symphonies, which includes the popular “Masterpiece Theatre” trumpet theme.

This concert also marks the milestone 100th CONCERT produced by the Cathedral Concert Series!
