Stephanie Burgoyne and William Vandertuin concert

February 19, 2014

Stephanie Burgoyne and William Vandertuin will perform an organ four-hand transcription of the second movement of Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 4, op. 98, at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in London, Ontario, Canada on March 11. William Vandertuin transcribed a number of symphonic movements for organ solo almost 50 years ago while organist at the Cathedral of St. Matthew’s in Brandon, Manitoba. Following this he was organist-choirmaster at Grace Anglican Church for the next 23 years.

Stephanie Burgoyne pursued her early music education in her native New Brunswick, receiving her ARCT diploma in piano. She obtained her associateship in organ performance from Conservatory Canada, in London, Ontario, the artist diploma in organ and piano performance from the University of Western Ontario, and the ARCCO diploma from the Royal Canadian College of Organists, at the same time earning her Ph.D. in mathematics. Burgoyne has held various positions in New Brunswick and in Ontario; she is the producer of the Noon Organ Recital Series at St. Jude’s in Brantford (completing its eighth year in 2013).

Other works on the program are “Marcia Religiosa” from Sonata No. 6 by Josef Rheinberger and final movement (“St. Patrick’s Breastplate”) from Organ Sonata No. 4 by Charles Stanford.
