    St. John the Divine. The largest Anglican cathedral in the world. An towering and sacred treasure of the Manhattan-scape. Holding-space for the funerals of James Baldwin, Nikolai Tesla, Duke Ellington. Home to The Great Organ - arguably the finest American organ. And, on March 21st, all 8,514 of its pipes will be signing the praises of something largest than us all, as St. John’s opens it’s doors for a big ol' Groupmuse Night Out.

    The occasion is J.S. Bach’s 334th birthday, and how better to celebrate than to bear witness to what he created with and for an instrument he’d mastered like no one in history.
    Organist Raymond Nagem has prepared a complete performance of Bach’s Orgelbüchlein, or Little Organ Book, a collection of 46 preludes that stands as an act of transformational devotion delivered from one of humanity’s most profound spirits.

    As much a scholar as an organ virtuoso, Nagem has been blogging on each prelude in the days leading up to the performance, if you’d like to get deeper in.

    Tickets typically run $25, but we’ve got a big stack for only $15 ($10 for supermusers), so join us for a night of music on the largest, most sublime and humbling scale imaginable.
