Richard Morris, organ
Scott Thornburg, trumpet
Distinguished organist Richard Morris reunites with acclaimed trumpeter Scott Thornburg for Toccatas and Flouishes, a popular duo-program of majesty and brilliance celebrating Morris’ 20 years as Spivey Hall’s Organist-in-Residence.
No one understands the expressive qualities of Spivey Hall’s magnificent 4,413-pipe, 77-rank Fratelli Ruffatti organ better than organist-in-residence Richard Morris, and few can match the achievements of his long and distinguished career. With extensive concert tours through the USA and abroad, numerous radio broadcasts, television appearances and recordings, and the honor of being presented in recital at Carnegie Hall, Morris is uniquely accomplished among his peers. A protégé of the legendary Virgil Fox, he performs a rich repertoire in the grand tradition of American concert organists, enhancing his recitals with commentary reflecting his quick wit and great wealth of organ lore.
