Music Worcester presents: BACHtoberfest: Peter Krasinski, organ

Peter Krasinski performs an afternoon of Bach’s organ works for the second annual BACHtoberfest weekend. The afternoon highlights Bach’s secular and sacred organ works, and continues THE COMPLETE BACH’s annual tradition of recitals for organ. Featuring the Mechanics Hall’s Hook Organ, an institution in Worcester for more than 160 years, this performance allows the listener to experience the robust sound and feeling of a pipe organ.

In 1863, Elias and George Hook began the installation of the custom-built instrument, fit perfectly for the Great Hall. The Hook Organ is made up of 3,504 pipes and 52 stops. Listeners flock to hear this organ played, both for its history and for its intensity and story. Hear the Great Hall fill with sound at this afternoon organ recital.

Phil Vassar Acoustic Duo

Over 25 years, Vassar has racked up chart-topping hits and numerous accolades, including performances in Europe, Australia, and the White House, as well as memorable moments with country legends like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. But it’s the connection he builds with fans through live performances that remains the heart of his career. “When I go on stage, the world fades away, and it’s just about having fun and connecting with the fans,” he shares.

A life-altering heart attack in 2023 that nearly claimed his life reshaped Vassar’s outlook. “You can’t outrun your genetics, but you can take care of yourself,” he reflects. His recovery has prompted a shift toward a calmer, more grateful life. “I’m way calmer now than I used to be. I’ve learned to enjoy the moment,” he says, now embracing life with renewed perspective.

With a career built on resilience and an unwavering commitment to storytelling, Phil Vassar continues to inspire both fans and peers, proving that great songs endure across generations.
