Music for Augmented Pipe Organ

Composer George Rahi and organist Angelique Po present an unforgettable night of music, magic and invention, merging the vibrant acoustics of the pipe organ with electronic music techniques to explore new poetics of the organ. Featuring Rahi's ongoing project 'Music for the Augmented Pipe Organ', the concert “transforms the world’s oldest mechanical synthesizer into a jarringly futuristic device …. makes the organ feel alive with possibility.” – (from The Wire: Adventures in Sound and Music)
