Her 2010 recital for the International Society of Organbuilders-American Institute of Organbuilders convention \u201cleft the entire congress in an atmosphere of \u2018Demers fever\u2019.\u201d That same year, her performance at the Washington D.C. national convention of the American Guild of Organists caused the standing-room-only audience to call her back to the stage five times. <\/p>\n She has appeared in recital in Europe, Oman, Australia, New Zealand, and coast <\/p>\n to coast in the United States and her home country of Canada. 2018-2019 season highlights include performances at the Maison Symphonique (Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec), the Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg, Germany), City Hall (Stockholm, Sweden), the Forbidden City Concert Hall (Beijing, China), and Westminster Abbey (London, UK). <\/p>\n Dr. Demers is in continual demand by her fellow colleagues as witnessed by performances for numerous regional and national conventions of the American Guild of Organists, the Institute of Organ Builders and International Society of Organbuilders, the Royal Canadian College of Organists, and the Organ Historical Society. <\/p>\n Her first recording on the Acis label, The Old and the New, was met with critical acclaim. Fanfare Magazine called it \u201csuperbly produced\u201d, a \u201cclear, tightly focused recording\u201d, and a \u201cbrilliantly played program.\u201d Her second disc, featuring the organ works of Rachel Laurin, was released in June 2011, and her recording of Max Reger\u2019s Seven Chorale-Fantasias in November 2012. Bach, Bull, and Bombardes (Pro Organo), was released in May 2013. In 2018, she appeared as solo organ accompanist in a recording of Maurice Durufl\u00e9\u2019s Requiem with the Baylor University Choir, recorded at Durufl\u00e9\u2019s church in Paris, also on the Acis label. <\/p>\n A native of Qu\u00e9bec and a doctoral graduate of the Juilliard School, Dr. Demers is Organ Professor and Head of the Organ Program at Baylor University in Texas. <\/p>\n Isabelle Demers is represented in North America exclusively by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists, LLC. <\/p>\n Ernest Macmillan 1893-1973 <\/strong><\/p>\n Cort\u00e9ge Acad\u00e9mique <\/p>\n Rachel Laurin 1961- <\/strong><\/p>\n Two Short Etudes op. 68 Flight of the Hummingbird Dialogue of the Mockingbirds <\/p>\n Oskar Lindberg 1887-1995 <\/strong><\/p>\n Gammal f\u00e4bodpsalm fr\u00e5n Dalarna <\/p>\n Sir George Thalben-Ball 1896-1987 <\/strong><\/p>\n Variations on a Theme of Paganini <\/p>\n Charles Tournemire 1870-1939 <\/strong><\/p>\n Choral-Improvisation on the Victim Paschali <\/p>\n Jason Roberts 1980- <\/strong><\/p>\n Two Scherzos <\/p>\n Whimsical <\/p>\n Mischievous <\/p>\n Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750 <\/strong><\/p>\n Concerto in a minor BWV 593 after Vivaldi <\/p>\n Allegro<\/p>\n Adagio senza pedale a due clavier<\/p>\n Allegro<\/p>\n Charles-Valentin Alkan 1813-1888 <\/strong><\/p>\n Excerpts from Twelve Etudes for solo pedal <\/p>\n Fughetta <\/p>\n Adagio <\/p>\n Moderato <\/p>\n Igor Stravinsky 1882-1971 <\/strong><\/p>\n Three movements from Petrushka transcription Isabelle Demers <\/p>\n Russian Dance Petrushka\u2019s Room The Shrovetide Fair <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" International Organ Summer in Hallgr\u00edmskirkja Saturday 27.
