At St. John's, Shaughnessy, 1490 Nanton Avenue in Vancouver join local organists at RCCO Vancouver Centre as they play the spookiest and scariest music written for the King of Instruments!
This year, our performers are: PJ Janson, Michael Dirk (Count Dirkula), Max and Aurelio Cifelli, Angelique Po, and Michael Park. There will also be world première performances by John Mitchell and Denis Bédard, plus an exciting arrangement of "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana, performed on organ with "virtual symphony" by Gilles Parenteau.
The audience is encouraged to come in costume. There will be treats for kids (and the young at heart) after the concert.
