The Organ Concert Series welcomes an accomplished local artist to perform in the first of two concerts planned in 2026. Sarah (Sutton) Howie of Cheyenne will perform 2 p.m. Sunday April 19 at the Cathedral of Saint Mary, on the Cathedral’s Visser-Rowland tracker organ.

The concert is free and open to the public. Doors of the Cathedral open for the recital at 1:30p.m., 2107 Capitol Ave.

Howie began studying organ at age 12, inspired by her grandfather and captivated by the majesty of the instrument, and she has performed in local, regional and national festivals. She is dedicating the concert to her grandfather, Harold “Chris” Christensen, who passed away in 2019.

She studied Organ at Hastings College in Hastings, Neb., and graduated in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree of Music in both Organ Performance and Piano Performance. Her program on April 19 includes a variety of works from P.E. Fletcher, Seth Bingham, Hans Zimmer, Richard Wagner, Cesar Franck, and Louis Vierne.

The opera is based on Pushkin’s iconic verse novel, which reimagines the Byronic romantic anti-hero as the definitive bored Russian aristocrat caught between convention and ennui. At the core of the opera is the young girl Tatiana, who grows from a sentimental adolescent into a complete woman in one of the operatic stage’s most convincing character developments.

The Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell.

Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko is the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late. The Met’s evocative production, directed by Tony Award–winner Deborah Warner, “offers a beautifully detailed reading of … Tchaikovsky’s lyrical romance” (The Telegraph). The Grand Teton Music Festival presents this live cinema transmission as part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
