Welcome to Organix 19
ORGANIX CONCERTS is Toronto's on-going organ festival series offering concerts that feature the thrilling sounds of the magnificent pipe organ, "The King of Instruments." Now in its fourteenth year, the festival series has presented well over 180 concerts and events. In 2019, ORGANIX is presenting another 29 concerts, continuing its very successful bi-weekly noon concerts in collaboration with the Anglican Church of All Saints Kingsway. The Kingsway series of free concerts have gained a stellar reputation for attracting some of the most noted Canadian and International organists. This series also enables an opportunity for some of our finest emerging artists to perform in a professional concert series. Happily, ORGANIX artists perform to the most enthusiastic audiences of any Toronto concert series!
2019 Season has showcased many of our previously presented artists plus first time festival performers; Four Hands Two Feet duo of Simon Irving and pianist Janice Beninger, Ian Sadler in an organ duo performance with Eric Hanbury, and Christopher Reynolds (Richmond, Virginia). Also, we look forward to the return of Dudley Oakes (Winchester, Virginia) on December 4 and Jean-Willy Kunz (Montreal, QC) on December 18.
The Special Presentation Concert Seriesfeatured Alcée Chriss at St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica; Nicholas Capozzoli with the ORGANIX FESTIVAL BRASS ENSEMBLE at the magnificent Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate in Guelph; and the InSpiration Ensemble with Jean-Willy Kunz as organist in a concert of Jazz.
