Emily Amos, a young organist full of joy, plays Bach’s Trio Sonata 5, floating above a night pass from Gulf of Mexico to Maine.


The organ is a majestic instrument, and a real challenge for musicians, with active hands and feet on multiple keyboards. Yet when it comes together it is beautiful. In 2023, Emily Amos headed the Youth Council of the American Guild of Organists.

She played this lovely floating music as her Graduation Recital from Curtis Institute of Music.

The night view from Gulf of Mexico is equally majestic, sparkling below. Imagine yourself with Emily on this journey of exploration.
