This month we have celebrated contributions to the world of organ music by women composers and organists. Today, we highlight the work of American organist and pedagogue Damin Spritzer. She has enthusiastically brought a new awareness to some composers that have, for one reason or another, fallen by the wayside, and lends her expertise and time to the administration of the Organ Media Foundation.
Hosts: Mark Scholtz, Bill Stein
