Bales Artist Series to welcome organ department chair for recital

David Higgs will perform an organ recital on Kansas University’s campus Friday as part of the Bales Artist Series.

The program will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Bales Organ Recital Hall, which is attached to the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Ave., on its north side. Tickets are available at the center’s box office for $12.

Higgs is the chair of the organ department for the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music. He performs extensively throughout the United States.

The Bales Artist Series brings organists from across the globe to perform and instruct students, according to KU organ professor James Higdon. The 2013-14 series concludes May 2, with a performance by Mark Steinbach of Brown University.
