Organist to perform today

Ulrike Theresia Wegele, a German-born, internationally recognized organist, will perform 8 p.m. Monday in Auer Hall. The event is free and open to the public.

She has performed at the International Organ Festival in Granada, Spain, the Haydnfestival in Eisenstadt, Austria, and other renowned festivals, according to the Jacobs School of Music. She was asked to give what would become one of her most celebrated performances at the world’s biggest organ festival in Washington, D.C., in 2010, according to the music school.

She has performed throughout Europe and the United States and has made numerous live recordings. Since 1991 she has worked as a lecturer at the College of Music in Graz, Austria. Wegele studied Catholic church music at the State College of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart, Germany, with Ludger Lohmann.

Her work focuses on the music of pre-Bach masters as well as compositions for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach, the Classical period, the Romantic period and modern music of the 21st century.

Wegele will lead a guest master class the following day at 12:30 p.m. in Auer Hall.
