Wilma Jensen will be interim director of music at St. James Cathedral in Chicago for two months beginning September 16. Her duties will include direction of the choir, organ service music, and a recital on Sunday, October 21. During this time, director of cathedral music Bruce Barber will be on sabbatical, performing and studying in Prague, San Diego, and the Chicago area.
On June 30, Dr. Jensen performed an organ recital as part of the pre-convention program for the 2012 AGO national convention in Nashville. Entitled “Music in the French Tradition,” the program also included Masses by Vierne and Widor for two organs and voices, sung by the West End United Methodist Church Choir and accompanied by Andrew Risinger and Gregg Bunn.
In addition, Wilma Jensen was one of three judges for the final competition of the National Young Artists Competition in Organ Performance (NYACOP). She also taught two organ masterclasses as part of the AGO workshop offerings.
