Christopher Houlihan has appeared in recital at celebrated venues across North America and Europe including the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, Glasgow Cathedral in Scotland, and San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral and Davies Symphony Hall. His “Vierne2012” tour attracted international attention and critical acclaim for his performances Louis Vierne’s six organ symphonies in six major North American cities. The Los Angeles Times called his performance there “a major surprise of the summer, a true revelation.” He has been featured at numerous conventions of the American Guild of Organists and the Organ Historical Society.
Mr. Houlihan will offer a program of works by known – and unknown – composers. Most notable will be the Suite No. 1, by the African American composer Florence Price; and a transcription of Maurice Ravel’s Ma Mère l’Oye (“Mother Goose Suite”) of 1910.
