Andrew Henderson featured on new recording

Andrew Henderson is featured on a new recording, Andrew Henderson at St. John’s, Elora.



Recorded in June, the CD is Henderson’s debut solo organ CD and the first solo recording of the Casavant organ at St. John’s Church, Elora, Ontario. He launched the CD with a recital November 7. The recital featured works from the recording, including the artist’s arrangement of Handel’s Organ Concerto in F Major (op. 4, no. 4), Elgar’s Imperial March, and Barrie Cabena’s five-movement Eine kleine Morgenmusik, op. 631 (2010), composed for Andrew Henderson and premiered this past July at the Elora Festival. In acknowledgment of the week following Halloween, Henderson also played Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Bonnet’s Elves, and Gounod’s Funeral March of a Marionette.



Canadian organist Andrew Henderson is director of music and organist at New York’s Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, teaches on the faculties of Westminster Choir College and Columbia University’s Teachers College, and performs recitals throughout the USA and Canada.
