Singer and songwriter Judy Collins has received four Grammy Award nominations for Best Folk Performance or Folk Recording, one for Best Folk Album and one for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She won a Grammy Award for Best Folk Performance. Musical theatre composer, lyricist, and playwright Jason Robert Brown fuses pop-rock stylings with theatrical lyrics. He is the recipient of three Tony Awards for his work on Parade and The Bridges of Madison County. Choral conductor and organist Kent Tritle is a concert organist; he is as well an organist of the New York Philharmonic and the American Symphony Orchestra. Tritle was from 1996-2004 Music Director of the Emmy-nominated Dessoff Choirs, winners of the ASCAP Chorus America award for adventurous programming of contemporary music.

Classical Music | A Concert to Usher in the New Year
Ring in the new year with a fun and festive concert followed by a champagne reception at the stroke of midnight. Hear music from Bach and Vierne to Johann Strauss, Sr. and see it played with the console out front-and-center. With 225 ranks of pipes singing into the resplendent nave from both sides of the chancel, the rear gallery, and even the dome, the dynamic range and near-infinite color palette of the organ is an experience to behold in person, enveloped by one of the world's largest musical instruments. Paolo Bordignon, organ
