Organ Loft - the Radio Show & This week's program

The Organ Loft is a radio program about choral and organ music, particularly music of the Pacific Northwest. Hosted by (Gothic Catalog's very own) Roger Sherman, Associate Organist of St Mark's Cathedral in Seattle, The Organ Loft features music of Pacific Northwest choirs and organs, composers and organ builders. Approximately 50% of the programming is organ, and 50% choral.
