About Our Upcoming Performer
There is a reason the organ is called “the King of Instruments.” With its ranks of pipes and reeds, dozens of stops and manuals, and a vast spectrum of color and sound, it can embody the power and subtlety of an entire orchestra—all under the hands of a single artist at the console.
Dr. Natalie Chan Ning holds the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) from the University of Southern California, where she pursued advanced studies in organ performance and choral music. Her artistic formation includes study in Manila with Johnny Yu and Ricardo Mazo (trained in Germany), later work with Beth Singleton in the United States, and mentorship under Dr. Ladd Thomas at USC. These distinguished influences profoundly shaped her interpretive depth and stylistic command of the organ repertoire.
Her performances unite historical sensitivity with a compelling artistic voice, bringing clarity, vitality, and expressive power to music across the centuries.
Having served in music directorships and performed internationally, Dr. Ning now resides in the East Bay, where she continues an active performance career. She serves on the piano faculty at the Crowden School and maintains a private studio teaching piano, organ, and voice. We are especially grateful for her leadership as Director of Music and Organist at St. Paul’s.
Performing on St. Paul’s celebrated Schlicker two-manual pipe organ, Dr. Ning will present a dynamic program ranging from classical masterworks to modern compositions—music of lyrical simplicity and grand, multi-layered textures that transforms the very space into sound. This is a concert not to be missed. Join us for an afternoon of artistry, brilliance, and inspiration!
