Organ Recital d’orgue

Abraham Ross enjoys an active career as a concert organist, harpsichordist, ensemble player, and director, presenting imaginative programmes informed by the most recent research into performance practice, technology, and musicological context. His accolades include appearances in international competitions, research grants from Quebec’s Fonds de Recherche en Societé et Culture and McGill University, and performances with Resonance Collective for New Music (Los Angeles), the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, and Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra. 

During his time in McGill's doctoral programme, Abe's research on performance practice covered a range of topics. His background in historical performance and New England roots drew him to the romantic repertory of the first generation of virtuoso American organists, whose music you will hear on this programme. His recent final project at McGill demonstrated applications of historical improvisation practice in early-baroque Italy. He serves as Director of Music at the official German congregation of Eastern Canada, St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Montreal, where music of Bach and his contemporaries plays a central role.
