\n\nThe program for Thierry Escaich's Organ Recital includes masterpieces from celebrated German organist Johann Sebastian Bach, immortal classics by Notre-Dame de Paris’principal organists Louis Vierne and Maurice Duruflé, and the psychedelic meditations of 20th century composer Olivier Messiaen, as well as Escaich's own original adaptations, creations, and improvisations. Classical musicians in this day and age have generally lost their ability to improvise. However, organists who serve as church organists are required to string together music on the spot during religious ceremonies, so they must master this skill. The ability to improvise has thus become an indicator of an organist's capabilities. How will the enthusiasm of southern Taiwanese audiences and port city Kaohsiung spark Escaich's imagination?

Artist Introduction
\n\nOrgan|Thierry ESCAICH
\n\nComposer, organist and improviser Thierry ESCAICH is a unique figure in contemporary music and one of the most important French composers of his generation. The three elements of ESCAICH’s artistry are inseparable, allowing him to express himself as a performer, creator and collaborator in a wide range of settings. Drawing from the French line of composition of RAVEL, MESSIAEN and DUTILLEUX, and imbued with references from contemporary, popular and spiritual music, the distinctive sound-world of ESCAICH’s music is anchored by an obsessive rhythmic drive and an overarching sense of architecture.
\n\nThierry ESCAICH’s works are performed by leading orchestras in Europe and North America and by musicians such as Lisa BATIASHVILI and François LELEUX, Valery GERGIEV, Paavo JÄRVI, and so on. ESCAICH has been Composer-in-Residence with the Orchestre National de Lyon, Orchestre National de Lille and the Paris Chamber Orchestra and his music has been honoured by four ‘Victoires de la Musique’ awards (2003, 2006, 2011 and 2017).
\n\nThierry ESCAICH’s career as a composer is closely linked to his career as an organist – one of the ambassadors of the great French school of improvisation in the wake of Maurice DURUFLÉ, whom he succeeded as organist of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Paris. He appears in recitals internationally, combining repertoire pieces with his own compositions and improvisations. His passion for cinema has led him to perform ‘cine-concerts’, improvised accompaniments on both the organ and piano for silent films such as Phantom of the Opera and Metropolis.
