Tiffany Ng works closely with living composers to bring innovative organ and carillon music to audiences in North America and Europe. She makes her west coast organ debut with some repertoire classics in counterpoint to three premieres. Matthew Suttor's "Syntagma," commissioned by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, will receive its first west coast performance with Suttor himself joining the audience. Franco-Japanese composer Paul Takahashi's "Invisible Motions," winner of the 2005 Hinsz Prize, brings the harmonies and rhythms of Romania to the pipe organ in its American premiere, and Neil Thornock's monumental "Perpetual Undulation" will conclude the concert with a rolling wall of sound.
