A virtuoso concert organist, Marilyn Keiser is “the epitome of taste, dignity, and elegance.” (The American Organist) She has performed across the United States and has been a featured artist for the International Congress of Organists in Cambridge, England; in concert at the Royal Victoria Hall with the Singapore Symphony; at the American Cathedral in Paris, the Southern Cathedrals Festival in Winchester, England and the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.
The St. Cecilia organ, restored by Nelson Barden of Boston, is “a masterpiece of balance of harmonics, voicing, scale and color that is just overwhelmingly breathtaking.” (Organ Historical Society) The organ is comprised of parts of twenty-seven different E. M. Skinner organs and is the only organ in the world with its particular surround-sound configuration.
