In the fifth of six Grand Organ recitals, Chelsea Chen plays the Miller-Scott Organ. “…Chelsea played with confidence, style, and imagination at a level that many older performers would surely envy…The [organ’s] future is in the hands [of] players such as Chelsea Chen who not only perform exceptionally well but also compose for the organ and encourage other friends of their generation to write for it too.” - Michael Barone.

In the fifth of six Grand Organ recitals, Chelsea Chen plays the Miller-Scott Organ.

‚ÄúChen ‚Ķ plays French music (Dupre and Vierne) with lovely lyrical grandeur. But it [is] in her ability to make forbidding German organ music utterly engaging that Chen really stands out. On Sunday, Hindemith’s gray Organ Sonata No. 1 became not gray but kaleidoscopically colored and character-filled. A Chorale-fantasy by Max Reger was a fabulous rush of mad passion but never at the expense of eye-popping contrapuntal clarity ‚Ķ not all organists have her delicacy ‚Ķ her ability to paint a line with a poetic brush stroke before ‚Äì or after ‚Äì she lets rip.‚Äù – Los Angeles Times
