Wilma Jensen
Wilma Jensen at Saint George's
On our next Pipedreams program, Wilma Jensen is featured artist, proving that Nashville is not ALL country music. On the Casavant organ at Saint George's Church, Ms. Jensen plays a recital on churchly themes, from bright preludes and quiet meditations to scenes of the Passion and hymns of the Resurrection.
It IS all about love, and dedication, to music for the organ and the church. We celebrate the career of one of Nashville's unsung star performers, a little woman who can make the big Casavant organ speak its mind. Enjoy the artistry of Wilma Jensen at Saint George's Church, Nashville, TN.
