February 9, 2020 - Eastman Bunch

On Sunday February 9,  2020 at 2:30 PM, the Rochester Theater Organ Society presents the Eastman Bunch and Aaron Hawthorne at the Auditorium Theatre.   

We welcome this year’s Eastman Bunch guest Artist

Aaron Hawthorne is a musician from Glasgow, Scotland, UK.  At a young age, he self-taught himself piano and after his first encounter with a theatre organ in his teenage years, he took to the organ just as quickly.  Consequently, Aaron paved the way for a career in music and in 2019 graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Master of Arts degree in music.  He is now an active organist on a local, national and (more recently) an international scale. 
 
Following his 2019 performance at the American Theatre Organ Society’s annual convention in Rochester, New York, Aaron received the ultimate honor for a young organist of winning the international Young Theatre Organist competition, having won the UK title two years before.  Only a few months later, Aaron was awarded the Ian Sutherland Award by the UK Cinema Organ Society, an award made to a player who displays outstanding talent and promise as a theatre organist.

​Aaron is very excited to be returning to the USA this February to give two exclusive performances in Rochester and North Tonawanda
