Thomas Mellan, young organist and composer and winner of numerous competitions, was born in France. Last year, he placed first in the national Musical Merit Foundation competition, and was one of six organists invited to record on the Walt Disney Concert Hall Organ. As Young Artist of the Year, he performed a solo recital at the 23rd Organ Festival at St. Eustache in Paris, France. His catalogue of over thirty compositions includes orchestral, chamber and solo works. Mellan will present music by four French composers (Clérambault, Franck, Dupré and Duruflé) on the 101-rank Casavant Frères organ. This FPC Arts concert is co-sponsored by the American Guild of Organists and the Musical Merit Foundation.
