The Story of the Albert Schweitzer Organ Festival Hartford
This video celebrates the remarkable 25-year history of the Albert Schweitzer Organ Festival Hartford, established in Wethersfield, Connecticut and in residence at Trinity College, Hartford since 2016. The mini-documentary includes interviews with three former first-prize winners (Alcée Chriss, Monica Berney, and Alexander Pattavina), Sean Duffy (executive director of the Albert Schweitzer Institute at Quinnipiac University), Dana Spicer (honorary board member of ASOFH and wife of co-founder David Spicer), and Vaughn Mauren (ASOFH former artistic director).
It also features a preview of our festival concert at Hartford’s Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, featuring Paul Jacobs and the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, Carolyn Kuan, conducting.
“Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter – to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way.”
