In July and August, Adam Chlebek, a fifteen-year-old organ student of Richard Hoskins at St. Chrysostom’s Episcopal Church, Chicago, Illinois, played four recitals in Poland. He performed an hour-long program on the Späth organ of the Church of St. John Paul II in Nowy Targ to an audience of about 350 people. Another recital was presented in the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Czarny Dunajec, his father’s hometown.
he two most significant programs were presented on the 1979 Beckerath organ of the Church of Our Lady, Queen of Poland (commonly known as Arka Pana) in Kraków, while Pope Francis was visiting the city for the 2016 World Youth Day. In addition to his recitals, Chlebek was able to play Rieger’s Opus 2300 in the Shrine of the Most Holy Family in Zakopane, the Truszczynski organ of the Basilica of St. Margaret in Nowy Sacz, and the 52-rank Zych organ of the Shrine of St. John Paul II in the Łagiewniki area of Kraków.
