Tarrant is Organist and Choirmaster of the Episcopal Cathedral Church of St. Paul, and the recipient of numerous awards and honors. He is particularly noted for his insightful performances of French organ music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. An active concert organist, he has performed in the Washington National Cathedral; St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York; St. James Cathedral, Toronto; St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York; and Chicago’s famed Fourth Presbyterian Church.
The OSO, which is the orchestra-in-residence at Oakland University, will also perform “Fanfares liturgiques,” by Henri Tomasi; and “Dances of Galanta,” by Zoltan Kodaly. Concertgoers are sure to find the music enhanced by the ambience of the cathedral’s vaulted space. Read more about the organ at St. Paul’s at the church’s website, detroitcathedral.org/wp2015.
