Rexburg organist to present recital at BYU-Idaho

 

 

            Organist Marsha Bjornn of Rexburg will present a free recital Saturday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. in the Barrus Concert Hall of the Snow Center for the Performing Arts at Brigham Young University-Idaho.

            The concert will feature selections with a wide range of organ styles and moods from Bach, Handel, Benoit, Franck, Mendelssohn, Eccles and other composers.

            “Quality music really does elevate your spirit and gets you out of the humdrum of daily life. I enjoy sharing the things that I learned musically with others,” she says. “It gives me joy and happiness and I hope the program will uplift others.”

            Bjornn has taught piano as an adjunct faculty member at BYU-Idaho for the past 20 years. She also teaches piano and organ in her home.

            “She plays brilliantly on both the piano and organ. It is clear she is an outstanding teacher,” says Darwin Wolford, director of organ studies at BYU-Idaho.

            A graduate of Utah State University, Bjornn has performed on the piano and the organ both locally and throughout the western United States.
