Improv Fest 2003


Above: Christopher Jennings, Paul Jacobs, Kyle Babin, Jason Roberts, and Jared Johnson.

On the first anniversary of the dedication of the Flentrop Organ donated by William and Loyde Ortel, five students performed on it as part of the Be Lifted Up! event held at the Institute on April 27, 2003. The students, who study improvisation with William Porter here, each improvised on a different theme in a different style. The performance was simulcast in the Great Hall, where members of the Yale community and local congregations watched and listened and partook of an afternoon tea. Click the organist's name above for their thoughts on improvisation.
