Tone on Tone, a Collaborative Event with Organ and Calligraphy

A truly unique collaboration between organ music and calligraphy defines the work of the pair. Foxgrover is a nationally-acclaimed organist and recording artist, and Botts, an award-winning visual artist with over a dozen published books of calligraphy. Their artistic combination offers audiences the opportunity to expand their appreciation of both disciplines through varied art forms.

Foxgrover performs major organ compositions while, for the duration of the music, Botts draws texts appropriate to or specifically indicated by the composer. As the calligraphy unfolds on a 4×6 ft. easel, images of both artists will be projected on large screens in St. John’s sanctuary. Repertoire consists of music from various periods, as well as both sacred and secular texts appropriate to the audience, venue, and the season.
