Mr. D’Agostino got to the heart of the music, the gentle and songlike as well as the robust and
purely dexterous.
Allan Kozinn
The New York Times
D’Agostino met his challenge brilliantly in a program reaching from the German and French
Baroque to Liszt, Ives, and Dave Brubeck.
Cecelia Porter
The Washington Post
One of America’s most exciting concert organists, Gregory D’Agostino creates a thrilling sense
of drama that has been described as a “stunning, controlled delirium” by The American Organist
magazine. Praised by The New York Times for his “deft, powerful performances,” Mr.
D’Agostino has performed on three continents at such well-known venues as New York’s
Lincoln Center, London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral, Radio Hall
Bratislava, Hong Kong’s St. John’s Cathedral, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall, West Point Military
Academy, Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival, and San Diego’s Balboa Park. He has
performed in festivals in Paris, London, St. Petersburg, Prague, Olomouc, Krakow, Zabrze, and
Tokyo, and has appeared as soloist with Japan’s NHK Symphony (live HD-TV), Moscow
Chamber Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Slovak Radio Orchestra, Mainly Mozart Festival
Orchestra, American Classical Orchestra, Fairfax Symphony, Fairfield Orchestra, and the
Charleston Symphony. For the 100th anniversary of the American Guild of Organists, Mr. D’Agostinoperformed two different memorized programs including the premiere of Dan Locklair’s
Organ Concerto before an audience of 3,400 at St. John the Divine, New York.
