St James' International Organ Festival: Marko Sever
Event description
As we see the vision to give Sydney a fabulous new organ become a
reality, St James' King Street are proud to launch the St James'
International Organ Festival. As the first of its kind, it aims to bring
internationally renowned organists to our doorstep, while showcasing
the might and versatility of our new Dobson organ.
The Australian organist, Marko Sever, has emerged as a powerful presence in the organ world. Equally at home in the concert hall and in the liturgy, his virtuosic performances have taken him to some of the most prestigious venues across Europe and Australasia.
Marko has recently returned to his home country of Australia, having spent six years working and studying in London, gaining experience at the highest level of the English Cathedral tradition. His time in the UK concluded with two years at Westminster Cathedral, where he regularly accompanied and directed the famed Cathedral Choir. While at the Cathedral, he recorded his debut CD, Symphonie-Passion, on the Cathedral’s world-famous Grand Organ, receiving a 5-star review in Choir & Organ magazine, as well as being featured on BBC Radio 3.
