To BellowsArt Recordings

As a performing organist and pedagogue, I am dedicated to cherishing the organ art in its variety, its historical context, and as a crucial part of our time. The organ is a melting pot for inventions and innovations, which have been growing already for over 2000 years. Therefore, I constantly collaborate with composers and premiere new works on historical and modern organs in inspiring concert programs, combining the experience of exciting new sounds with the compelling music of older periods.
