Stephen Tharp performed in St. Sulpice's “Concerts Spirituels” series

Stephen Tharp performed as part of the “Concerts Spirituels” series at St. Sulpice, Paris, on September 26.



Works by Roth and Dupré complemented George Baker’s newly composed Variations on ‘Rouen’, commissioned by Tharp and premiered by him earlier in September at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas as part of Michael Barone’s Pipedreams Live event there.



Tharp’s Paris concert closed with Louis Vierne’s Symphonie No. 5, a work rarely performed in France. This symphony was later recorded at St. Sulpice by Tharp for the Aeolus label, which will also record him playing Symphonie No. 6 to finish a cycle of the complete Vierne symphonies at St. Sulpice.



Volumes 1 and 2, comprising the first four symphonies and played by Daniel Roth, are already available in the USA from .



Stephen Tharp also recorded George Baker’s new “Variations” at St. Sulpice for release as part of a future project. For more information, see www.stephentharp.com.
