The recital will feature works from the recording, including the artist’s arrangement of Handel’s Organ Concerto in F major (Op. 4, No. 4), Elgar’s Imperial March, and Barrie Cabena’s five-movement Eine kleine Morgenmusik, Op. 631 (2010), composed for Andrew Henderson and premiered this past July at the Elora Festival. In acknowledgment of the week following Halloween, Andrew will play Bach’s Toccata & Fugue in D minor, Bonnet’s Elves, and Gounod’s Funeral March of a Marionette!

He is Director of Music & Organist at New York’s Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, teaches on the faculties of Westminster Choir College and Columbia University’s Teachers College, and performs recitals throughout the USA and Canada.
