Christopher Houlihan to inaugurate new organ at Sondheim Center in Fairfield, Iowa

The young American organist Christopher Houlihan will inaugurate the newly installed organ at the Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts in Fairfield, Iowa, with its first solo recital, on January 29, 2011, at 7:30 pm.



The instrument, a 1966 Möller, was installed in the center’s main auditorium after years of storage in the town. It was the chapel organ at Parsons College there, which closed in 1973 and now operates as the Maharishi University of Management.



Houlihan’s current season also includes two orchestral soloist appearances, two featured artist spots at AGO regional conventions, and a return European tour including a recital at Notre Dame de Paris. Other current season engagements include performances in California, Canada, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
