In addition to his own scholarship, Nigel Potts will offer recommended readings and recordings for further personal discovery. “Nigel Potts is a consummate musician who knows how to communicate the essence of this music.” “Instrument, music and performer combine to create musical magnificence not to be missed.” The American Organist, December 2009
