## Notes

David Titterington made his San Francisco debut this afternoon, showing his prodigious talent in a variety of organ showpieces. I thought it was a good program, though the Sally Beamish premiere didn't really fit in stylistically with the other, older pieces. Sadly, the hall seemed to be only half full this afternoon -- I guess classical organ isn't a very popular musical genre these days.

Stephen Smoliar posted a [review](http://www.examiner.com/article/organist-david-titterington-brings-a-united-states-premiere-to-davies) of the show for the Examiner.
