The concert will end with an organ duet of Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, with Rodland performing with her husband, Brian Carson.įor a taste of what might be in store at this year’s PipeScreams concert, check out the 2020 performances. The performances this year will feature one student playing Mars from Gustav Holst’s The Planets and others playing traditional works by Bach, Gigout, Reger and Vierne. This is the second and last Halloween themed video, and I figured i'd end with a less serious take on the extremely popular 'Scary Organ' music genre. The students and faculty get even more into the ghoulish festivities by dressing up in costumes as they showcase their love for the organ to the public. “And the professors perform with the students, which is fun for all of us.”

“One of the most wonderful things about this concert is that it features all the students - beginners studying the organ as a secondary instrument, and the most accomplished majors altogether,” Rodland said. Olaf is one of the most renowned and largest undergraduate programs for organ music in the country, according to the college.

There are 15 students studying organ this year, Rodland said. This type of concert is an excellent way to showcase the instrument and the talent of the students.
