Jazz Organist Rosemary Bailey to be Featured at April Kilgen Theatre Organ Performance
OKLAHOMA CITY — On Monday, April 15, from 7-8:30 p.m., a Kilgen Theatre Organ performance at the Oklahoma History Center will feature organist Rosemary Bailey. This will be Bailey’s first performance at the Oklahoma History Center, and the theme will be “Here’s Rosie.”
Bailey started playing music at the age of five when she learned how to play classical music on the piano. She added jazz and traditional popular styles into her repertoire. By the age of nine, Bailey was already performing around the United States. A year later, Hammond Organ hired her as a concert artist.
Bailey’s career playing jazz piano and organ has continued to thrive. She has performed with artists including Victor Borge, Pete Nero and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Bailey was a featured soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She has performed in more than a dozen countries.
