As part of the American Guild of Organists 2026 National Convention in St. Louis, David Ball and Dr. Emma Whitten present a recital of organ music featuring duets and double organ music on the Cathedral’s Soer/Moeller organ. Pipework for the organ is found at either end of the Cathedral’s English-style Nave, each end paired with its own console. Used simultaneously and antiphonally in this recital, David and Emma will fully take advantage of the sonic resources of Christopher Soer’s instrument.
