Clarion in concert

The organ/trumpet duo Clarion was formed in 1983 by Melody Steed, associate professor of music at Bethany College (Kansas), and Keith Benjamin, professor of trumpet at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. The pair has recorded two compact discs for the Gothic Record label and performed extensively throughout the United States.

Focusing their musical endeavors on the promotion of 20th-century literature for trumpet and organ, they have premiered works by Samuel Adler, Don Freund, Steven David Beck, Peter Hamlin, James Mobberley and Eugene O’Brien.

Donations accepted. This is the second and final concert of the Orvil and Gloria Franzen 2013-2014 Organ Program Series.
