Organ lovers fortunate enough to have seen the Winspear debut of Montréal-based Jean-Willy Kunz last April will certainly remember his thrilling performance with the Edmonton Symphony.

For his upcoming engagement, he once again pairs with talented Edmonton artists – Ballet Edmonton – for a program as engaging visually as it is aurally. The first-ever Organist in Residence of the Montréal Symphony Orchestra, Kunz will present a thrilling overview of music from Gershwin and Stravinsky to Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt.
