AGOSD presents: Organ Dedication Concert

Date: Saturday, May 18th, 2025

Time: 4:00pm

Location: St Andrews Episcopal Church, La Mesa (4816 Glen Street, La Mesa, CA)

Event Description: Featuring Organist, Jonas Nordwall, an internationally renowned virtuoso organist equally skilled in both traditional classical and modern/popular schools of musical performance. He has performed in North America, Japan, Europe, and China and has made eight concert tours to Australia. Nordwall is the only organist to play a public recital on the famous concert organ in Sydney’s Town Hall that was nationally broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Company. He has been an adjudicator and guest recitalist for the Swiss International Organ Competition in Geneva, Switzerland.  Nordwall has also performed numerous programs on the Spreckels organ in San Diego’s Balboa Park as part of their International Artist Series.

The Organ: The organ installed at St. Andrew’s was custom designed for the church and it incorporates the original 31 rank Simpson Pipe Organ that has served our church for many years. In addition to incorporating the original pipes, an Allen GX350 adds 66 Digital Stops along with Allen Organ’s APEX floating point technology which provides 65 times more resolution than existing fixed point systems. That is a lot of fancy technical stuff to say that this organ is beyond impressive. Reception to follow.
