The Pipe Organ Encounter organized by the Wichita Chapter of the American Guild of Organists took place in June 2023 and was hosted by Wichita State University, Wichita, Kansas. Lynne Davis performed the opening recital of the week with young organ students in Wiedemann Hall on the Marcussen & Søn organ with works by Marchand, Bach, Franck, Alain, and Widor.
Davis’s travels to France this past summer took her to the Jura mountains where she gave recitals in Clairvaux-les-Lacs on the 2012 Aubertin organ (works by Bach, Sweelinck, Böhm, and DuMage) in Èglise St. Nithier, and in Poligny on the 1858 Cavaillé-Coll organ (works by Langlais, Mulet, Franck, Alain, Vierne, and Duruflé) in the Collégiale St. Hippolyte. Davis is the Robert L. Town Distinguished Professor of Organ at Wichita State University and is represented by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists.
