In a radical change of format, the 2011-2012 Rie Bloomfield Organ Recital Series and Wichita State University will present Jehan Alain, 1911-1940 - “The American Festival.”

The 100th anniversary commemorative event will be held Wednesday-Friday, Sept. 28-30, in Wiedemann Recital Hall on the WSU campus.

This festival will give the opportunity to a new generation of organists to discover the unique world of Jehan Alain through a series of lectures, concerts and discussions.
