“Ms. Brewer’s voice is glorious. She sings with abundant sound and wondrous colorings.”

—New York Times 

“Paul Jacobs is one of the great living virtuosos.”

—Washington Post

"The inimitable soprano Christine Brewer and America’s foremost organist, Paul Jacobs, explore timeless sacred works in this unique pairing of voice and organ. The program builds from the tender meditations of Lili Boulanger’s celestial “Pie Jesu,” dictated as she lay dying at age 24 to her sister Nadia, to the ecstatic joy of Widor’s glorious Toccata from Symphony No. 5."
