The first concert of Key West Impromptu Classical Concerts’ 53rd anniversary season will feature the cellist Thomas Mesa and organist Greg Zelek in a duo concert showcasing the historic pipe organ at St. Paul’s Episcopal church.

Organist Greg Zelek, praised as “extraordinary in the classical music world” (Jon Hornbacher, PBS Wisconsin Life) and a “musical star” (Bill Wineke, Channel 3000), is the Principal Organist of the Madison Symphony Orchestra and Curator of the Overture Concert Organ. In this role, Greg performs and oversees all the MSO’s organ programming.

Cuban American cellist Tommy Mesa has established himself as one of the most charismatic, innovative, and engaging performers of his generation.

The January 12th program will feature works by Massenet, Bach, Boulanger, Rossini, Casarrubios and Ficarri.
