James David Christie is a truly exciting organist, and his concert of mostly French works promises to be memorable. Composers represented in this colorful program include Ropartz, Duparc, A. Alain, J. Alain and Tournemire. Christie will also play two compositions by Jean Langlais, who performed at Brown Memorial Church in the 1950s, as well as Christie's own “Élégie” for Langlais. He will be playing Brown Memorial’s renowned 1931 Skinner Organ.
