“People were electrified by his playing”

“His size, age, poise, and music ability, was amazing. He received a standing ovation and continual applause, and drew the largest audience seen in five years of weekly concerts.”

“As 11 year old Randy (nickname) Santini sends his fingers gamboling along the Flentrop Organ at Harvard University's Adolphus Busch Hall, his shoes seem barely to touch the pedals. Other students can't reconcile what they see- a 4-foot-11-inch boy - and what they hear- the complicated, familiar Toccata that reaches the depths of one's heart.” “No, that's not him playing, is it?” one girls asks.

“Keynote Genius” “Young organist stuns audience with his magnificent music performed on the four manual organ. His concert brought his audience to its feet.”

“He earned impressive credits for someone of his youthful age. An organ virtuoso.”

“To An Aspiring Virtuoso” by Henry Hastry

A genius from within our midst
Playing works of Brahms, Beethoven and Liszt.
His tender age of twelve means more;
Greatly adding to the score.

Years of study have been spent
with notes, stops, and pedals, and vent,
Hours of practice, rote by rote,
to reach perfection, with each note.

A manly task of dedication
in achieving adulation.
So, to Brandon, all of the best success,
Good Luck to gain your quest.

“noted world-class organist ”

“Concert Master”

“Brandon Santini, an accomplished concert organist whose talents are widely acknowledged.”

“The youngest musician ever to serve as Musical Director for the National Convention of the Holy Name Society.”
“He's a prodigy” said Lois Regestein, a former Dean of the Boston Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. “He's very musical and he seems to have gobbled up every bit of wisdom from his teachers. He would really be great fun to teach.”
