Fish Pipes at 30 Celebration Concert
2021-10-22 20:00 - 21:30
In celebration of our Visser-Rowland organ’s 30th birthday, the First Presbyterian Church of Stamford, also known as the Fish Church, welcomes guest artist Michael Hey in concert. This event will be open to a limited capacity in-person audience, as well as live-streamed for those watching from home.

First Presbyterian’s pipe organ stands as one of the largest pipe organs in Stamford and among the most prominent organs in Fairfield County. Built by the Visser-Rowland company of Houston, Texas as their opus 87, this was their first large instrument on the east coast. Eastman School of Music professor David Higgs performed two dedication recitals in June of 1991, and Indiana University professor Marilyn Keiser recorded a nationally-distributed CD soon after. 1991 also saw the first of our annual Brass and Organ Christmas concerts with the New York Symphonic Brass. Come celebrate with us!

He graduated in 2014 from The Juilliard School where he received both his Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees in organ performance under Paul Jacobs. Within one year of his graduation, he was appointed Associate Director of Music and Organist of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, where one of his first major tasks was to play organ for Vespers and Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Madison Square Garden for the first U.S. visit of Pope Francis In September 2017, Michael received first prize in the First Shanghai Conservatory of Music International Organ Competition.
