POTSDAM – Award-winning solo organist, harpsichordist and chamber musician Nicholas Capozzoli will perform the 17th Annual L. Felix and Helen Miller Ranlett Organ Recital at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23 in SUNY Potsdam’s Helen Hosmer Concert Hall.

An article in the Oct. 5-11 issue incorrectly stated the recital had been cancelled. North Country This Week regrets the error.

Among Capozzoli’s award performances are a first prizes at the 2015 Taylor Organ Competition, 2013 Region III AGO/Quimby Competition, Pittsburgh Concert Society Audition for Young Organists, and Carol Teti Memorial Organ Competition. He was also a finalist in the 2016 AGO National Young Artists Competition in Organ Performance.

Capozzoli was nominated as a member of The Diapason’s “20 under 30 Class of 2015,” which recognizes individuals under the age of 30 who have made significant contributions to the fields of organ performance, harpsichord, and church music.

His playing can be heard on the nationally syndicated “Pipedreams” radio broadcast.

Capozzoli has presented recitals at national festivals and conferences, including “Rising Star” appearances at the 2014 AGO National Convention in Boston, and 2013 National Association of Pastoral Musicians Convention in Washington, DC.

He was also a performer at the 2016 Historical Keyboard Society of North America (HKSNA) conference (Oberlin, OH) and 2014 Piccolo Spoleto Festival “L’Organo Series” (Charleston, SC). Capozzoli has been privileged to perform in several esteemed venues including St. Paul Cathedral (Pittsburgh, PA); Severance Hall (Cleveland, OH); All Saints’ Episcopal Church (Atlanta, GA); Old South Church (Boston, MA); and the Musée des Augustins (Toulouse, France).

In addition to his Community Performance Series Ranlett Recital Oct. 23, he will lead a free organ encounter at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 in Hosmer Hall.
