Music lovers will have a unique chance to hear an organist play with a full orchestra later this month.
The Ridgewood Symphony Orchestra will present a performance on Nov. 20 at the West Side Presbyterian Church.
The concert will feature Juilliard student and organist Greg Zelek. The symphony orchestra will perform J.S. Bach’s “Toccata and fugue in d minor,” Bedrich Smetana’s “The Moldau,” Jean Sibelius’s “Finlandia Op. 26” and Camille Saint-Saens’s “Symphony No. 3.”
The chance to hear an organist play with a full orchestra is a rare occurrence.
“They have a phenomenal organ at the church, so it’s a great opportunity,” said musical director Diane Wittry.
