Thomas Sheehan, Principal Organist at Washington National Cathedral, will play during the state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter. He will also perform a free concert in San Diego at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.
The funeral for President Jimmy Carter will be held Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. KPBS reporter John Carroll tells us about Thomas Sheehan will be in town this weekend to play one of the finest church organs in the area.
Washington National Cathedral Principal Organist Thomas Sheehan is shown in a zoom interview on Jan. 7, 2025. "The St. James organ — the new organ compared with the old organ — it has a much, I would say, warmer, more supportive sound, which is how the fashion has changed between the 1970s and now. It’s a much deeper and more orchestral sound, and it has all of the latest features," Sheehan said.
