Fans and friends gather with organist Christopher Houlihan ’09 (center) outside Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on July 10.

Houlihan’s performance capped a series of appearances starting in mid-June at two regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists in Oklahoma City, OK, and  Des Moines, IA. Houlihan then traveled to Paris to perform at the Cathedral of St. Louis in Versailles,  then to the Celebrity Organ Recital at Glasgow Cathedral in Scotland before returning to Paris where he received a standing ovation at Notre-Dame.
