Fantasia Apocalyptica

Fantasia Apocalyptica, as composer (and computer scientist) Don Knuth puts it, is “a multimedia work for pipe organ, accompanied by several video tracks. It can be regarded as a somewhat literal translation of the Biblical book of Revelation into music.”

From Don Knuth: “The organist will be Jin Kyung Lim, who played the Fantasia at its California premiere in San Francisco in 2021. Years ago, as I was writing the music, she also gave the first-ever public performance of a “beta test” version, as part of a recital on the Murray Harris organ at Stanford’s Memorial Church (04 November 2015).

The October concerts will be the culmination of a project that’s been part of my life for 60 years!”
