Last Friday, organist Andrew Kotylo played a wonderful recital as part of the Durham-Chapel Hill chapter of the AGO's 2009-2010 program year kick-off event at Watts Street Baptist Church. It also celebrated the 40th anniversary of Watts Street's Austin organ (Opus 2501). It was a wonderfully played recital featuring music that one doesn't usually hear at organ recitals but showcased the Austin quite nicely. In addition, Kotylo played a piece by local composer Edith Borroff.
