Maxim Lubarsky live in Boston

Experience Maxim Lubarsky live on September 27th

Maxim Lubarsky will perform a concert at First Church in Boston on September 27, 2026. Lubarsky is a Russian-born organist internationally recognized for his virtuosic technique and interpretations of both traditional and contemporary organ literature. His style often incorporates improvisation and a dynamic range reflecting influences from both European classical music and Russian musical traditions. He is particularly known for transcriptions of orchestral works for the organ, expanding the instrument’s repertoire.

First Church in Boston, located in Back Bay, has a significant history dating back to 1806. Originally established as Park Street Church, it was a pioneering Congregational church known for its progressive stances on social issues including abolitionism. The current building, completed in 1810-1811, is designed in the Greek Revival style by Alexander Parris and features a prominent steeple that has become an iconic element of the Boston skyline.

The church's organ has undergone several modifications over its history; the current instrument is a notable example of American organ building from the late 20th century, built by C.B Fisk Opus 126.
