Paul Jacobs, the only Grammy-winning organist, commemorated the 100th anniversary of Beall Concert Hall in Eugene with a remarkable concert. Known for memorizing J.S. Bach's complete organ works and holding a record-breaking 18-hour concert, Jacobs showcases his deep musicality and technical skill. In his recent performance, Jacobs charmed audiences by playing pieces from Bach to Charles Ives on a custom Baroque organ while providing engaging insights about the compositions, effectively bridging traditional classical music to new fans.
"Jacobs, who looks much younger than 48, might be serious and love Bach with all his heart, as Bach loved the organ with his, but he doesn't miss out on fun."
"His brilliant technique has been honed since he began piano lessons at 5 years old and organ lessons at 12... he can make the dullest piece of classical music come alive."
