DESCRIPTION:Hosted by The Oakland S.\nMusicians: Brian Raphael Nabors and J
 erome Lenk\n\nUnder the direction of **Kedrick Armstrong**\, this electrif
 ying program puts the organ front and center — from groove-driven brilli
 ance to symphonic thunder. The evening opens with **Clarice Assad**’s *B
 aião N’ Blues*\, a rhythmically charged fusion of Brazilian flair and b
 luesy color.\n\nThen composer-organist **Brian Raphael Nabors** takes the 
 spotlight in his own *Hammond Organ Concerto*\, a genre-bending showpiece 
 that brings the iconic Hammond sound into the orchestral spotlight. Nabors
  is joined by organist **Jerome Lenk** for a program that celebrates the i
 nstrument’s full expressive range — from soulful warmth to stadium-siz
 ed power.\n\nThe night culminates in **Camille Saint-Saëns**’s *Symphon
 y No. 3*\, “Organ” — the legendary “Organ Symphony.” Majestic\, 
 dramatic\, and gloriously over-the-top in the best way\, it builds to one 
 of the most thrilling finales in all of symphonic music.\n\n🎶 Come earl
 y for a **pre-concert talk at 7:05 pm with John Kendall Bailey**.\n\n✨ W
 ith **Groupmuse Nights Out**\, you’re not just getting discounted ticket
 s — you’re plugging into a community that shows up for bold programmin
 g and epic live sound. It’s the perfect excuse to gather your music-lovi
 ng crew and experience a night that will quite literally shake the walls.
