In anticipation of Pacific Chorale's summer 2012 visit to Paris, we present a tribute to the many outstanding organists and composers who have worked at the Église Saint-Sulpice, second largest church in the city and home to one of the great organs of the world. Organ virtuoso Thierry Escaich, last heard with Pacific Chorale in 2009, returns to the console of the William J. Gillespie Concert Organ.
