We regret to report the sudden death of Jonathan Biggers, professor of organ and harpsichrd at Binghampton University in upstate New York and a regular soloist with major orchestras. He was engaged, at the time of his death in performing the complete organ works of J S Bach.

At the age of 25, he won a unanimous first prize at the 1985 Geneva International Pipe Organ Competition, followed by the 1990 Calgary International Organ Festival Concerto Competition. More here.
