American organist James D. Hicks continues his quest to present fine Nordic organ music, including exciting music with other instruments, on the 1884 Nielsen / 2009 Kuhn pipe organ of Uranienborg Kirke in Oslo, Norway. James D. Hicks is a concert organist living and working out of Califon, New Jersey. A graduate of Peabody Conservatory of Music, Yale University, and the University of Cincinnati, Hicks has also studied at the Royal School of Church Music in the UK.
