Richard Benefield
Richard Benefield, organ
Organist Richard Benefield plays works of Bach, Buxtehude, Walcha, Franck, and the West Coast premiere of Daniel Pinkham’s The Garden of the Muses, a suite of musical portraits of the nine Classical muses. Benefield is now director of The Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio of San Francisco. Before moving West, he was Keeper of the D.A. Flentrop organ in Adolphus Bush Hall at Harvard University—the organ made famous by E. Power Biggs. Old First’s monumental 57 stop, 64 rank Hutchings-Visscher Post Romantic Organ is an ideal instrument for these works.
