Spivey Hall

Returning to Spivey Hall after many years, Vincent Dubois is the titular organist at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, France, where he serves alongside Olivier Latry and Philippe Lefebvre.  He is also a professor of organ interpretation and improvisation at the Hochschule für Musik, Saarbrücken, Germany. Dubois’ interpretations of the French organ tradition, particularly the works of composers like Franck, Widor, and Vierne, are revered for their precision and emotional depth. His dynamic performances, often marked by intricate phrasing and rich tonal colors, have earned him international acclaim, making him one of the most prominent organists of his generation.

Grammy® Award-winning Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time. His flawless technique combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit has solidified his renown as an American master. Shaham was one of the earliest performers to grace the Spivey Hall stage during our first full season (1991-92), so it’s only fitting that he returns to open our 35th season with long-time collaborator Japanese-born pianist and composer Akira Eguchi. This not-to-be-missed program will feature a selection of Beethoven violin sonatas.
