June 24, 2011 - The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, in downtown LA, is holding organ recitals every Wednesday at 12.45 pm until August 31.
Organist Namhee Han, a native of South Korea and the current resident organist at the Westwood Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, performed June 22 the Fantasy and Fugue in G Minor 542 by Johann Sebastian Bach and the Symphony No 6 Op 59 by French composer Louis Vierne.
The instrument, with its massive pipes, inside the structure of the church with its perfect acoustics, provides a magnificent sound. There is space for many more to attend, as, even with more than 50 people this past Wednesday, the crowd seemed thin within such a large space.
The concerts will continue every Wednesday, at no charge, with a different organist playing on the same instrument.
June 29 – Brett Judson
July 6 – Robert Woolsey
July 13 – Robert Woolsey (organ demonstration)
July 20 – Samuel Soria (organ demonstration)
July 27 – Samuel Soria
Aug 3 – Stan Harris
Aug 10 – Hyunju Hwang

Aug 24 – Mitchell Won

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is located at 555 Temple St, Los Angeles, CA. Parking is available as part of the structure and ticket is validated with attendance to concert.
