Back to the Crescendo Concert Series for his second performance in two years, Paul Jacobs re-invigorates the American organ scene. Even his fellow organists recognize his phenomenal technique and memory, his charismatic stage presence, his huge repertoire spanning five centuries, and the sense of showmanship he brings to an instrument more usually associated with staid and reserved performances. Paul Jacobs is also creating new interest for the organ in the wider musical world which has recognized him as a musician of rare stature. Booked for concerts in all 50 states by the age of 31, he continues to be in great demand around the country and has growing recognition as a performer of unusual merit in Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia. Mr. Jaobs is Chair of the Organ Department at the Julliard School of Music.
