Jan Kraybill writes: I was absolutely thrilled that my most recent album, the second solo recording on the Kauffman Center’s Julia Irene Kauffman Casavant organ, has been nominated for three GRAMMY awards, including Best Classical Instrumental Solo, a very high honor indeed. That category, listing all five nominees, is below. It’s absolutely amazing to be included in this list of talented people!
As far as I know, I am only the third organist— and the first female organist— to be nominated for a solo recording GRAMMY.
The Nominee for Best Classical Instrumental Solo were:
(Award to the Instrumental Soloist(s) and to the Conductor when applicable.)
THE BERLIN RECITAL
Yuja Wang
HIGDON: HARP CONCERTO
Yolanda Kondonassis; Ward Stare, conductor (The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra)
MARSALIS: VIOLIN CONCERTO; FIDDLE DANCE SUITE
Nicola Benedetti; Cristian Măcelaru, conductor (Philadelphia Orchestra)
THE ORCHESTRAL ORGAN
Jan Kraybill
TORKE: SKY, CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN
Tessa Lark; David Alan Miller, conductor (Albany Symphony)

The National Council, the Committee for Conventions, and the Convention Steering Committee for the Atlanta Chapter of the American Guild of Organists regret to announce the cancellation of the AGO 2020 National Convention. The uncertanties surrounding the spread of the coronavirus required us to take this action. We could not guarantee the health and well-being of registrants, performers, presenters, exhibitors, worship leaders, and all others who would have been involved in the convention.
We are deeply saddened at having to make this decision, but we feel it is in the best interest of all AGO members, their families, friends, and colleagues.
The convention website will remain in place for reference purposes for the time being.
