Internationally-renowned Spanish musician Loreto Aramendi, organist of the Basílica de Santa María del Coro de San Sebastián, brings to Vancouver the music of her favourite composers.  She has given many recitals in Europe, Argentina, Japan, Russia, and the United States, and her extraordinary skill and musicianship have been highly praised

Playing and interpretation of a very high standard
thanks to the performer’s stunning technique’ 
 – David Baker

‘A fine example of absolute musicianship, sound
technique and utter command over the instrument’
  – Sydney Organ Journal

‘Thrilled by her genius …
She has a unique gift that is very rare’ – JAV Records

What sets Loreto Aramendi’s concerts apart are the symphonic transcriptions of works by Liszt, Fauré, Rachmaninoff, and Saint-Saëns. These transcriptions are not simplified arrangements, but concert versions of great orchestral works which push both the instrument and player to the limit. Assuch,theyshowoff the rich tonal colours of the organ necessary for interpreting orchestral music, which are otherwise unheard in strict organ repertoire. Aswell, the organ transcriptions require a musician of exceptional virtuosic and artistic skill – and that Loreto Aramendi has in spades.

This will be the first time for Spanish virtuoso Loreto Aramedi to perform on Canada’s West Coast as she embarks on a tour in Canada and the USA. A rare opportunity to hear this extraordinarily-talented musician perform on the mighty pipe organ at St James’ Church, this is a concert not to be missed !
