A true rising star among classical musicians, Alcee Chriss has quickly made a name for himself as one of the finest young American organists on the scene today receiving praise for his “grace, skill, and abundant proficiency” (Journal Assist News) and “clarity, imagination, musicality, virtuosity, and yes, personality” (American Record Guide). He enjoys a thriving performance career in the United States and Europe where he has already appeared to great acclaim at the Stuttgart International Organ Summer, Karlsruhe International Organ Summer, and Stockholm City Hall.

Co-sponsored with the San Joaquin Valley Chapter, American Guild of Organists.
