The only organist to ever win a GRAMMY award, Paul Jacobs combines probing intellect and extraordinary technical command with an unusually large repertoire. He brings his mastery of music both old and new to the grandeur of the newly renovated Rockefeller Chapel's E.M. Skinner organ. 

Supported by the Brian Gerrish Organ Performance Fund and presented in partnership with Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.

Praise for Paul Jacobs

“Jacobs delivered handsomely...wielding organ textures from transparent to massive, making music of dense intellectual content leap off the page and into the listener’s ear.” 
—New York Classical Review

“Jacobs controlled the dynamics of the apparatus brilliantly, shaking the rafters with pure sound one moment and unfolding cadenzas of almost whispered beauty the next. He relished the showmanship baked into the piece, almost dancing in the various sections played entirely on foot pedals. ” 
—Bachtrack
