Isaac Johnson is dedicating this organ recital to Our Blessed Mother Mary, in honor of The Feast of The Assumption. He has prepared a selection that explores a collection of organ arrangements of traditional Marian Antiphons, which will be chanted by St. Francis of Assisi’s own St. Cecilia Schola Cantorum.
