Experience the brilliance of the pipe organ in the acoustical warmth of UUCB’s Sanctuary! Join us for a 3pm recital by Christopher Keady, Associate Director of Music at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

The program spans centuries of organ music with pieces by Byrd, Bach, Mulet, and Muhly –all chosen to showcase the versatility of UUCB’s American Classic style Aeolian-Skinner organ.

A sought-after performer and collaborator, Keady has appeared with the San Francisco Symphony, the Marin Symphony, and the San Francisco Choral Society, and has performed in notable venues across the country including Washington National Cathedral and St. Thomas Church in New York.

This promises to be an inspiring afternoon of music – free and open to all.
