Maurice Duruflé: The Complete Organ Works Plus

Step into a world of rare beauty and meticulous craftsmanship with Groupmuse Nights Out, offering discounted tickets to an extraordinary evening devoted to the music of Maurice Duruflé. Celebrated for his uncompromising perfectionism, Duruflé left behind a small but luminous body of work—each piece polished to near perfection. This special program, led by organist Raymond Nagem and joined by Melissa Brassard, brings together Duruflé’s complete organ works alongside his only chamber composition, the hauntingly expressive Prélude, Récitatif, et Variations, Op. 3. With the addition of Bart Feller on flute and Kal Sugatski on viola, the concert unfolds as a richly textured exploration of color, nuance, and deeply felt musical expression.

From the grandeur of the organ to the intimate interplay of chamber music, this program offers a rare opportunity to experience Duruflé’s artistry in full. Nagem—Minister of Music at Brick Presbyterian Church and a distinguished performer shaped by studies at Juilliard and Yale—brings both insight and reverence to this repertoire, joined by a stellar ensemble of collaborators. With Groupmuse Nights Out discounted tickets, this is a chance to encounter music of quiet intensity and transcendent beauty—where every note feels intentional, and every moment resonates. 🎶
