David Herman

David Herman , Trustees Distinguished Professor of Music and University Organist, received a Fellowship in January 2006 from the state arts council, to be used in studying works by his teacher, Jan Bender (1909-1994) and by Bender's teacher, Hugo Distler (1908-1942).  As part of the project, he studied various works by both composers, offered lecture/recitals in several locations throughout the State, and made a CD recording.  For the fifth year, he was invited to teach at a Pipe Organ Encounter, national programs for young organists sponsored by the American Guild of Organists.  His new recording on the University's Jefferson Pipe Organ, Great Mixture!, is available from the Music Department.
