The concert of compositions for organ and orchestra from Bach to Saint-Saëns to Amy Beach was conducted by David Robertson, with organist Paolo Bordignon, and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, and featured St. Bartholomew's monumental 12,422 pipe organ, the largest in New York City, and among the largest in the world. The concert supported St. Bartholomew's Conservancy's restoration mission of St. Bartholomew's Church, a National Historic Landmark.

The concert program features repertoire for organ and orchestra from the 16th - 20th centuries - works by the French and Belgian composers Gigout (a pupil of Saint-Saëns), Jongen, Fauré ("Pie Jesu" from Requiem, with Mr. Costanzo), Duruflé (a master impressionist composer for the organ whose musical training spanned the Rouen Cathedral to Notre-Dame), Saint-Saëns (the finale of his Symphony No. 3, "Organ"); Gabrieli's late 16th century Canzon in Double Echo; and Leopold Stokowski's orchestration of the Bach's "Little" Fugue in G minor; and by Handel, Eternal Source of Light Divine (with Mr. Costanzo).
