We encourage you to email us feedback and suggestions about the Kilgen Organ Recital Series at: [email protected]. c CoN Described as “scintillating” and “tremendously virtuosic” (The Straits Times, Singapore), concert organist Michael Hey has been increasingly visible on U.S. and international stages. He has performed organ with the San Francisco Symphony, the Juilliard Orchestra, and the New York City Ballet Orchestra. Michael has appeared at renowned venues such as Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden. In September 2017, Michael received first prize in the First Shanghai Conservatory of Music First International Organ Competition. Released in October 2017, Michael’s premiere solo CD recording Michael T. C. Hey plays the Great Organ of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in New York is available for purchase on the JAV recording label. In 2015, Michael was appointed Associate Director of Music and Organist of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, where one of his first major tasks was to perform for the first U.S. visit of Pope Francis. Michael plays at the Cathedral for services throughout the week which are broadcast on Sirius XM radio, television, and online. Not exclusively a solo organist, Michael enjoys collaborating with other artists. He performs duo recitals with violinist Christiana Liberis and has extensively performed with singers at Renee Fleming’s SongStudio at Carnegie Hall, SongFest and elsewhere. Michael is a graduate of The Juilliard School where he received his B.M. and M.M. degrees in organ performance under Paul Jacobs. Michael Hey is represented in North America exclusively by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists, LLC.
