Description

Join us at a Friday evening concert featuring the gems of centuries of organ music. Come to relax and experience the beauty, passion, and uplifting nature of perfectly written classical music performed by great musicians. Varied solo organ or chamber music concerts are offered in the series depending on the date of your visit. Old Hungarian organ music and pieces composed by Bach, Dubois, Franck, Handel, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Purcell or Vivaldi have all been selected to provide visitors with quality entertainment and lasting experience. The creative director and main organist of the Majestic Sounds series is Miklós Teleki, who is an excellent, award-winning Hungarian musician giving more than 100 organ and piano recitals a year.
