Hungarian organist László Fassang returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall on Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 7:30 pm to launch the 2011/12 Organ Recital Series with a program featuring works by Bach, Schumann, Reger and Liszt. Having won several prizes at major international organ competitions since 2002, Fassang has quickly established himself as a major young talent in the international organ world.
The recital at Walt Disney Concert Hall will include Fassang's own improvisations, which demonstrate the versatility of the organ through the incorporation of jazz and folk music influences. In 2002 Fassang won the Improvisation Gold Medal at the Royal Bank Calgary International Organ Festival and Competition. He was also the 2004 winner of the coveted Grand Prix de Chartres Interpretation and Audience Prizes, and in 2006 he received the Liszt Ferenc Prize awarded by the Hungarian Ministry of Education and Culture and the Prima Prize awarded by the National Association of Entrepreneurs.Videos
