| Apr 26 Ryan Enright Organ Concert |
Canadian organist Ryan Enright will pull out all of the stops on the Conroy Memorial Organ in a program promising to excite at The Cathedral of Christ the Light.
"A native of Montreal, Quebec, Ryan Enright began studying the organ at age 13 and pursued degrees in the instrument with John Grew and William Porter at McGill University as well as the Eastman School of Music, receiving the Doctor of Musical Arts under William Porter. He has taken first prizes at the Canadian Music Competition in 1997, the Quebec Organ Competition in 2004, and the National Organ Playing Competition of the Royal Canadian College of Organists, 2007. Ryan has also competed in the Dublin International Organ Competition, the Kotka Competition (Finland), and, recently, the Canadian International Organ Competition 2011, Montreal, where he was one of 16 international finalists and the only Canadian."
"Noted for his improvising in the liturgy and in concert, Ryan’s style is influenced by French Impressionist harmony, baroque counterpoint, and a North American je-ne-sais-quoi. Ryan is organist of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Sacramento and accompanist for the Sacramento Choral Society & Orchestra, the CSUS choruses, the Schola Cantorum of Sacred Heart Church, as well as being a free-range musician. A favorite interest away from the loft is exploring California’s diverse wilderness areas."
