For the next in our First Mondays concert series, join us as we seek to explore the human condition—as well as the physical world—for the opposites of each other. What does it mean to be opposite one another? To be diametrically opposed to another way of thinking? Or to be physicall so different from one another? One is starving; the other is abundant. One is overjoyed, the other overwhelmed. One is Native Hawaiian, the other Western European. Are we really that far apart from each other?

This performance is produced by HI Arts Lab, Honolulu’s newest performing arts company, bringing a variety of art forms together to create innovative and collaborative experiences. Visit www.hiartslab.org for more information.

Organ Plus is a term that has been used to indicate music for organ with instruments. In spite of the organist having the reputation of being a “one person orchestra,” the addition of instruments greatly enhances the listening experience and expands the repertoire.

As part of the First Mondays Chamber Concerts series at the Lutheran Church of Honolulu, organists Katherine Crosier and Jieun Kim Newland will present a concert featuring the organ in duets with trombone, oboe, violin and recorder, plus two works for organ duet and organ trios. The program, “Organ Plus,” will also feature instrumentalists Luke Reed, trombone; Sara Ricer, oboe; Darel Stark, violin; and Charles Coldwell, recorder.

Works to be performed include Bach’s “Concerto in C major, BWV 595,” “Sinfonia from Cantata 12,” “Sinfonia from Cantata 156,” “Concerto in A minor after Vivaldi”; Johann Krebs’ “Fantasia on ‘Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme’”; Tomaso Albinoni’s “Adagio in G minor” and “Trio Sonata in B minor”; and Claudio Monteverdi’s “Laudate dominum.”

Katherine Crosier provides lots of details on the performers, in the post “The PLUS in Organ PLUS+” from her blog Another Year of Insanity.

Renowned organist, composer, and improviser Maurice Duruflé held the post of titular organist at Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Paris from 1929 until his death in 1986.

Duruflé composed the majority of his relatively small output of works during this time. He was a perfectionist by all accounts, and all of his surviving compositions are gems of the repertoire.

Tonight’s program features:

1. Messe “Cum jubilo,” op. 11
2. Quatre motets sur des thémes grégoriens, op. 10
3. Notre Père, op.14
4. Solo Organ works
