In this sound spectacular, we introduce The Diapason Brass & Timpani. The combined sonority of these six outstanding artists will complement the already highly varied tonal range of the Mighty Klais, charging this exciting repertoire with extraordinary brilliance. This unique program of music written for a variety of pairings will include Gigout’s Grand Choeur Dialogue, a  transcription of Rachmaninoff’s famous Vocalise performed on horn, and an arrangement of Bach’s famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor for organ and timpani. The event will have me pulling out all the stops on our great Overture Concert Organ to match the excitement and volume of my colleagues on stage!
