Heefner Organ Recital at Ursinus College Features Students from Philadelphia's Curtis Institute of Music

Students from the Curtis Institute of Music will perform at
Ursinus College, in a Heefner Organ Recital, Sunday, Oct. 20, in Bomberger
Auditorium at 4 p.m. The program is free and open to the public.

The Curtis Institute of Music educates and trains
exceptionally gifted young musicians for careers as performing artists on the
highest professional level. Students Bryan Anderson, Joseph Russell and Thomas
Sheehan will be playing brilliant masterworks by Cesar Franck, Joseph Jongen
and Gaston Litaize.

One of the world’s leading conservatories, Curtis is highly
selective, with an enrollment of about 165. A busy schedule of performances is
at the heart of Curtis’s distinctive “learn by doing” approach, which has
produced an impressive number of notable artists since the school’s founding in
Philadelphia in 1924.

Alan Morrison, who is the Ursinus College organist, Chairs
the Curtis Institute of Music Organ Department. He is a graduate of Curtis and
Juilliard, and is recognized as one of America’s premier concert organists.
