If you’ve never experienced the glory of the Lay Family Concert Organ, you’ll be enticed by these stats: the organ is a focal point of the Eugene McDermott Concert Hall, rising to the full height of the chamber behind the stage. It has 4,535 pipes, ranging in size from just 0.75 inches to 32 feet tall! The Lay Family Concert Organ is considered one of the world’s greatest and has inspired similar installations in other concert halls. “Consistently the most compelling player,” (Dallas Morning News) DSO’s resident organist, Bradley Hunter Welch leads this concert in a breathtaking performance. This recital is especially noteworthy, because it also features an exciting collaboration with the Dallas Symphony Chorus for a portion of the concert.
