More details…

St. Colman organist, Craig Jaynes, will perform solo organ works and will join with Cedarville University professor and violinist, Carlos Elias in a program of music by Joseph Rheinberger and Max Reger, two of the unsung geniuses of the late Romantic era. The Rheinberger works are singularly unusual in that they are original for the two instruments, not transcriptions, a combination that is rare for serious composers (and for reasons unknown as it is a particularly effective one). They will be performed in the superb acoustics of St. Colman church, which was built at the same time these two composers were at their most productive.

THE PERFORMERS: Craig Jaynes  has been the Music Director and Organist at St. Colman since 2005 and also serves as organist for the choir at St. Columbkille Church in Wilmington, Ohio. He attended Wichita State University, Kent State University (BA-music), The Ohio State University, and Clark State Community College (AAS-RN); and studied with Paul Lunquist, Dorothy Addy, Virgil Fox. He’s been an active church musician for churches in Kansas and Ohio for 52 years and is a Registered Nurse with Community Care Hospice.

Carlos Elias  is professor of strings and orchestra at Cedarville University and was recently appointed Director of the Springfield Youth Symphony. He has won performance prizes in El Salvador and California; represented his country (El Salvador) in the World Philharmonic Orchestra under Lorin Maazel; he performed in solo recitals and with orchestras in the US, El Salvador, Argentina, Bulgaria, Japan and Korea; participated in festival orchestras in Colorado, California, Vermont, Florida, Puerto Rico, Japan and Italy. He hold degrees from Biola (California) University, Duquesne University, and the University of Cincinnati, College Conservatory of Music. He and his wife, pianist Andrea Arese-Elias, gave their New York debut at Weill Hall in Carnegie Hall in 2002 and their recently released CD “Let’s Tango” was named “Best of the Best” in the International category on eMusic in the US and the United Kingdom.
