THE DIAPASON
Stephen Tharp was the only American organist invited to partake in the 2009 Euro Via Festival. Under the direction of Johannes Skudlik as a network for concert organists, the festival linked together 20 very specific organ programs throughout Europe under one umbrella, with top performers playing separate concerts, each in a different European city.
The 2009 festival artists included Olivier Latry, Simon Preston, Jean Guillou, Daniel Roth, Ben van Oosten, and Naji Hakim.
Stephen Tharp’s concert, performed on the 1924 Steinmeyer organ at the Münster in Lindau on Lake Constance, Germany, was broadcast live by Bayern 4 Klassik, Bavaria’s largest classical radio network.
